Starting from [Cherrytrail](/source/Silvermont) and [Haswell](/source/Haswell_(microarchitecture)), many Intel processors offers on package sensor hub. The [Samsung Galaxy Note II](/source/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II) is the first smart phone with a sensor hub, which was launched in 2012. ==Examples== Some devices with [Snapdragon](/source/Snapdragon_(System_on_Chip)) 800 series chips, including [HTC One (M8)](/source/HTC_One_(M8)), [Sony Xperia Z1](/source/Sony_Xperia_Z1), [LG G2](/source/LG_G2), etc., have a sensor hub, the Qualcomm Snapdragon Sensor Core,{{Cite web|url = http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/features/sensors|title = Snapdragon Sensor Core | Qualcomm|date = 2013|accessdate = 16 July 2014|website = |publisher = |last = |first = }} and all [HiSilicon](/source/HiSilicon) Kirin 920 devices have sensor hub embedded in the chipset with its successor Kirin 925 integrated an i3 chip with same function into it.{{Cite web |url=http://www.usdaycarejobs.com/huaweis-new-phablet-gets-an-iphone-5s-like-fingerprint-reader.html |title=Huawei's new phablet gets an iPhone 5s-like fingerprint reader | US Day Care Jobs |access-date=2014-09-04 |archive-date=2014-09-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904194419/http://www.usdaycarejobs.com/huaweis-new-phablet-gets-an-iphone-5s-like-fingerprint-reader.html |url-status=dead }} Some other devices that are not using these chips but with a sensor hub integrated are listed below: {{See also|Snapdragon (System on Chip)}} {{See also|HiSilicon}} {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
