Qualcomm, Qualcomm Inc., end), chief executive of mollen Krakow (Steve Mollenkopf) should rejoice in 2015 has passed, the big chip maker last year suffered a series of setbacks and frustration.

He also revealed that include German carmaker Audi (Audi) and China's video streaming Letv (LeTV), the main customers of the news. Letv is trying to perform in the field of smart phones.
Mollen peskov said the consumer electronics show the consumption trend of present brought multiple opportunities to qualcomm.
Letv is one of the first publicly announced the qualcomm 820 chip customers. Qualcomm 820 chip is Xiao godson long-awaited update, a type of Xiao godson popularity than the previous version. Qualcomm said last November, 60 upcoming smartphone will pick up the processor. Mollen peskov will increase that number to 80 on Tuesday.
He showed a Letv smart phones, the mobile phone has many features, is one of the fingerprint sensor installed at the back, rather than positive.
