Industry sources told DigiTimes that most smartphone makers are planning to launch dual-core models in 2011 as NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Broadcom have all come out with dual-core platforms.
While LG Electronics (LGE) and Motorola already unveiled their dual-core smartphones at CES, HTC, Samsung Electronics and Nokia are expected to showcase similar models at the upcoming Mobile World Conference (MWC), indicated the sources. The chance is also high for Apple, RIM and Sony Ericsson to roll out dual-core smartphones soon, added the sources.

The requirement for stronger capability to manage multimedia functionality including 3D games and HD video has pushed handset vendors to develop dual-core processors, the sources asserted. Nvidia's dual-core platforms have been adopted by LGE, Motorola and Dell, while Samsung's devices have gained support from Apple in addition to being used in-house.
