As reported by Gizmodo, the corporate didn’t launch any new pictures or provide any demos, but it surely did reveal that your telephone received’t be capable of deal with the sort of processing Aura calls for. As a substitute of utilizing a telephone as a computing machine, Aura will use a separate, tethered, puck-like machine for its computational wants.
This puck-like machine, sufficiently small to slot in your pocket, will home an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon chip.
