The S4 chips also have GPS and GLONASS, which will provide access to satellite networks for better mapping and location services. Integrated features on the chip will also improve security functions on the smartphone OS.

Microsoft has said the first wave of Windows Phone 8 smartphones will come from Nokia, Huawei, Samsung, and HTC, which will all use Qualcomm chips. Smartphones with the OS are expected to arrive later this year.
