Snapdragon 855+: a more powerful version of the chip

Qualcomm surprises with the announcement of Snapdragon 855+. We find an improved version of its high-end processor, which launches with gaming smartphones in mind. The American brand has provided this processor with more power, without modifying the rest of its specifications at any time. So you bet on it being more powerful so you can play better.

It is expected to launch in this second half of the year. So that next gaming smartphones that come to the market could make use of this processor inside.

Few changes

Thanks to the changes that have been introduced in this Snapdragon 855+, we can see that the speed becomes up to 2.96 GHz, exceeding the 2.8 GHz that we found in the original version of the processor. A change that is achieved without having modified the architecture or the nuclei of it. There are also no changes in the GPU that we have in the processor, but it is revealed that its power has been increased by 15%.

In any case, for a gaming smartphone it is something that can be important. Greater power, allowing long games to be played in titles like Fortnite or PUBG Mobile, which are games that demand good processor performance.

It is expected that in these months the first phones with Snapdragon 855+ will arrive, as Qualcomm has said. So far no brand has mentioned that they will use it. Surely in a couple of months there is already a phone that makes use of it.
