Does the Xperia Z come with a dedicated GPS chip?

Thanks,

Not sure but I think it's all integrated in Qualcomm MDM9215M. It's a seperate chipset which should handle network modem and other wireless processes since Qualcomm APQ8064 is a pretty much stripped off type of chipset Only contains wifi and bluetooth wireless connectivity

It is indeed integrated in the MDM9215, Qualcomm calls it gpsOneGen 8A with GLONASS. Supposed to be pretty good actually.

it comes 100% with GLONASS.

Just wanna ask though... What about the WIFI drivers? Will it still use broadcom? And what model? Will it use the legacy bcm4329? or the newer bcm4330 or the latest bcm4331?

Here's the specs sheet for the modem chipset.

Look for the MDM9215(M) remove the M since it only stands for Modem
