So that's why the famous chipmaker Qualcomm is developing a mini device that will be able to facilitate the streaming videos in 4K format your smartphone to a TV - of course other formats may also be sent to your TV.
Patrick Moorhead, president and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, and recognized in the world of high-tech could see a first prototype at an event organized Qualcomm this week. He mentions in PC World the device is designed to allow you to stream 4K content from a smartphone or tablet to a TV.
But why? While recording in 4K is available on recent Android smartphones such as the Galaxy S5 Samsung and LG G3, get these videos on a 4K TV can be a problem. In most cases, you must physically connect the smartphone to the TV via the USB port, which is not really practical when you're lying on the couch. Dongle capable of streaming could be convincing only if the product does not remain confined to that. Anyway, it would not be surprising that the Smart TV tomorrow natively offer such a feature.
Initially, the focus is on the videos that you captured in 4K. But ultimately, the TV dongle could add support to streaming online video from sites like Netflix, as well as mirroring the screen of your smartphone or tablet on your TV.
The prototype obviously has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood, but you will not need a smartphone with a Qualcomm chip for use.
