Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8 Octa official, BlackBerry Vienna leaks: weekly news roundup
Once again, it is time for our weekly news round-up, where we put the most interesting stories from the past seven days for anyone who needs to catch up. It was definitely a chipset week, so the most important news swirled around the official unveiling of both chipsets that will eventually be in the upcoming Galaxy S7.

First Qualcomm took the stage to unveil its newest high-end phone solution - the Snapdragon 820, and then it was Samsung's turn to shine immediately after with the Exynos 8 Octa, which is its first true system-on-a-chip, with a homebrew LTE modem tacked on. 

We also got a semi-official confirmation that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5 will be shipping exclusively with said Snapdragon 820, as well as a BlackBerry Vienna leak. For more on last week's most interesting news, flip through the slideshow below.
