Nvidia shows off uses of a Tegra 4 SoC

Nvidia has been busy at Berlin's IFA Consumer Electronics Show trying to convince the world+dog that its Tegra 4 SoC should get a life away from its own Shield gaming handheld.

It was using Asus's Tegra 4-powered Transformer Pad TF701T just and Xiaomi's 5-inch Mi3 Android smartphone as a case in point.

The new Mi3 has a 5-inch IPS display with a full HD 1080p resolution, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of on-board storage and a 13MP camera.

It then uses the Tegra 4, with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU and 72 GeForce GPU it had some positive reviews from those who saw it at the Berlin show. The device reportedly supports full 4K HD video playback which is just what you need from a five inch screen.

Nvida has been saying that the Mi3 will retail for the equivalent of $327 for an unlocked phone but will not be available in the US.

However, Sony is planning a similar offering in the US so the tech will get out there eventually.

Still with 64GB of storage, a 5-inch display and one the fastest ARM-based SoCs it is certainly better than anything else that is on the market for that price.

It is not as if Nvidia is getting everything its own way. There will be a version of the MiPhone 3 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.3GHz, whereas the Tegra 4 version will be clocked at 1.8GHz.
