In this year, rumors spread inside the industry that heating issues exist in the Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 810 and can’t be solved, which resulted in the overheating issues of the flagship smartphones that adopted the Snapdragon 810 chipset and were complained by the consumers. There are also analyses saying some vendors delayed the release of their new flagship smartphones due to the heating issues of Snapdragon 810, and decided to wait for Snapdragon 820.
In the recently held 2015 Qualcomm 3G/LTE summit, the Marketing Director of Qualcomm Mark Shedd refuted this "rumor", he believed this was a rumor spread by the competitors to bring shame on Snapdragon 810. "The heating issues are not true", he said.
On the other hand, he believed some vendors adopted the Snapdragon 810 in their devices and provided immature products for trials, which were regarded as the commercial product for reviewing, "this is unfair and unjust to Qualcomm Snapdragon 810".
