Most smartphones provide access to the Global Positioning System (GPS)—a network of 27 satellites used to pinpoint your location. But there's a second network of 24 satellites called GLONASS. Combined access to GPS and GLONASS can improve location accuracy, reliability and speed. Any device with Qualcomm's Snapdragon S2, S3 or S4 processor is capable of accessing both satellite networks. Watch the video to see how it works.

  • everything about this commercial was great except for the accent.

  • I want snapdragon s4 and mirasol screen do I want to much?

  • @0GanGen0 у меня их несколько. Не скажите же вы, что ЭйсМентура это ваш логин? Ну вот, значит это мой и я под ним и зашёл! А то, что зашёл не под официальным - ну так захотел. Можно мне хоть такую мелочь позволить себе.

  • @3ucMeHTypA Дмитрий Анатольевич, успокойтесь и зайдите под своим логином.

  • sounds like we wount be able to stay hiden any more :/ anywhere at any place

  • I for one don't trust that something is truly high tech unless it is explained to me in a British accent!

  • I thought this video was kinda funny depicting the positioning systems' beams as emanating from the consumer's device as if it were the tiny device transmitting to the satellites. It's like the same backwards thinking in ancient science that we perceive our world via light shining out of each of our eyes and illuminating our environment. Classic.
