On the second day of Qualcomm's Snapdragon Technology Summit in Maui, the official details of the Snapdragon 855 have been announced. The new chip is built on a 7nm architecture, which promises faster speeds, better battery life, and improved connectivity.
Snapdragon 855 is the mobile processor of the future
The Snapdragon 855 mobile platform is touted as the first 5G chipset, with support for the Snapdragon X50 5G modem. That means users can get speeds of up to 5 Gbps. With speeds like that, you can download a full 4K movie in under a minute. 5G millimeter waves can be easily clogged, so it will drop to 4G sometimes. With that in mind, it also comes with the Snapdragon X24 modem, a 4G LTE chip that supports speeds of up to 2Gbps. However, 4G and 5G work simultaneously. The Snapdragon 855 also supports 60 GHz Wi-Fi, with speeds of up to 10 Gbps. That means that if you have a 5G access point, your phone will be able to use those speeds.

When it comes to overall performance, Qualcomm says its Kryo 485 cores will offer a 45% boost, and the Adreno 640 GPU will show a 20% boost. With the firm's Snapdragon Elite gaming platform, gamers will be able to play in HDR with Physically Based Rendering (PBR). The Hexagon 690 DSP promises twice as much power as its previous generation. Combined with the Kryo 485 CPU and Adreno 640 GPU, the 855 includes the fourth-generation multi-core AI engine that can handle seven trillion AI operations per second, or three times more than its predecessor.
The Snapdragon 855 enhances smartphone cameras. Not only can you record 4K video at 60fps, but it now supports object segmentation, which means you can take that video quality in portrait mode. It is now HDR10 + compatible too, allowing you to adjust the dynamic range throughout the video. Another camera enhancement is that the Snapdragon 855 will include hardware acceleration for HEIF images, which can reduce file sizes by 50%.
The Snapdragon 855 will begin shipping on new devices in the first half of 2019. We will likely see it on the Samsung Galaxy S10 throughout the Mobile World Congress.
