Thinner phones? How about better battery life. Reports the Financial Times: “Thinner smartphones or more space for larger batteries are on the way this year, thanks to a big reduction in the size of the latest mobile processors that power them. Qualcomm … said on Tuesday that the new version of its flagship processor — the Snapdragon 835 — would take up about 35 per cent less space than last year’s model and consume roughly 25 per cent less power.” Oddly enough, the best analysis belongs to the FT, while even outlets as normally on-point as the Verge have settled for puking back Qualcomm’s press release.
