Last year, Qualcomm announced the chipset that we’re going to see in most of the flagship Android phones in 2019 – the Snapdragon 855. This morning, several outlets have published benchmarking scores for that new chip, and it’s a promising tease for what to expect in our next phones.
This week Qualcomm is taking over Maui with an event to talk about its brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. On stage at the event, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that in 2019, OnePlus will launch the first smartphone with a Snapdragon 855 on board.
After officially unveiling the Snapdragon 855 yesterday, Qualcomm today is fully detailing the specs for its next-generation chip specs for 2019 Android flagships. The processor focuses on adding 5G support to phones, as well as improved artificial intelligence and mixed reality experiences.
With 2018’s high-end smartphones announced and widely available, Qualcomm is gearing up for the next cycle of launches. At the 3rd annual Snapdragon Tech Summit, the chipmaker announced the Snapdragon 855 that will power 2019 flagships.
