Problems with processor thermal management Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Sony is still concerned that it has launched a new firmware update to try to alleviate them or at least reduce their impact on the company's devices that use it: Xperia Z3 + and Xperia Z4 Tablet. We will see if the changes that they have been able to introduce have an effect or not, although there is a fear, and that is that they use them to limit the power of the chip, something that would subtract a bit of performance from the smartphone and tablet.
The new Sony tablet, the Xperia Z4 will go on sale in our country in just a few days. Already we have been able to analyze it and the sensations are more or less good, although the issue of overheating continues to worry many of the users who considered their purchase after the presentation of the Mobile World Congress. You will remember that a few days ago we were talking about a firmware update that I had discovered the reason for the delay in the release date, initially scheduled for the beginning of the month, it could be a processor change.
The processor will remain the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 but in its second versionn. A modification manufactured to reduce problems with temperature management but which, as we have verified with the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, have not finished being effective. The new firmware update (28.0.A.7.24) is already being distributed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where both devices are already on sale and is also reaching areas where they will be released soon such as India, Singapore, the Netherlands, Russia, Vietnam or Turkey.
Until the next June 29 that is available in Spaina, there is no rush because it will surely arrive. At the moment, Sony has not confirmed the reason for this firmware update but they had announced that they were preparing something to solve these temperature problems of their two flagship devices today, so it seems clear that this is the objective. .
The doubts left by this update
As we said, this update was expected because Sony had said that it would do something about it. The point is that many have raised what could be the solution of the Japanese to a problem of this nature that has its origin mainly in the manufacture of the processor, and if confirmed, it will not be to the liking of buyers or potential buyers. And it is that one of the ways with which these overheating can be avoided is limit chip power, which would continue to offer high performance, do not hesitate, but it would not reach the levels that it initially promised.
