Qualcomm introduces Snapdragon 865, a new system-on-a-chip that will bring “world’s most advanced 5G Modem-RF System with the world’s most advanced mobile platform.” Developers explain how the upcoming SoC will deliver unmatched connectivity and performance in next-gen devices. However, the 5G connectivity represents the main focus for Qualcomm.
The 865 utilizes Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System, which brings top speeds up to 7.5Gbps. Also, the X55 is the world’s first commercial modem-to-antenna 5G solution. It has constant, lightning-fast speeds and other Qualcomm technologies to enhance coverage and data speeds, and an all-day battery, too. Moreover, the X55 is a global chip for all significant regions and bands, such as sub-6 and mmWave in both FDD and TDD frequencies. It supports the multi-SIM, Dynamic Spectrum Sharing, and global 5G.
Wi-Fi 6 and More Features
Qualcomm X55 system supports the Wi-Fi 6, too, bringing higher speeds and more steady connections. On Wi-Fi 6, Snapdragon X55 activates up to 1.8Gbps. X55 also enhances Bluetooth through the Qualcomm aptX Voice system, becoming the first mobile platform to sustain wirelessly Super Wide Band voice-over-Bluetooth. aptX Adaptive and Qualcomm TreuWireless Stereo Plus decreases latency and enhances battery life and connection power with wireless headphones and earbuds.
New Generation of AI
Artificial intelligence ability was another significant feature of enhancement for Qualcomm on the 865. The new system is the fifth generation Qualcomm AI Engine, with some AI software items that deliver fantastic performance for gaming, camera, and audio. The AI Engine brings15 trillion operations/second of AI performance, becoming two times as steady as its predecessor. It was developed from an enhanced version of the Qualcomm Hexagon Tensor Accelerator, operating 35 % more power capability. AI engine provides real-time AI translations, for example, a feature that lets phones to translate text into another language, both writing, and speech.
Improved Camera Settings
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 comes with a more significant image signal processor that runs at up to 2 gigapixels/second. It also decreases the clock speed to conserve power. We have now a 4K HDR video, 8K video, and support for up to 200-megapixel sensors.
