Qualcomm Unveils Snapdragon 865 and 765, 5G Support Processor is Here


Author: MobileGizmo-Team , Date : 15-December-2019

Qualcomm in its annual Summit early this month has unveiled two latest processors - the Snapdragon 865 and 765. The chip maker unveiled these two new upcoming chipsets on Qualcomm’s new Modular Platform. The Snapdragon 865 is the successor to the 855. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 765/765G is a new chipset with integrated support for 5G.

The Modular Platform part of the announcement offers carriers the tools to let them implement their own 5G technologies to the new chipsets with great ease. So finally, it appears that 5G smartphones will form majority of the new flagships starting 2020. The Snapdragon 865 will be compatible to pair up with the Snapdragon X55 Modem, which succeeds the X50 Modem with a newer, more power efficient process. The X55 also has higher theoretical down/up speeds, and supports SA/NSA networks. The X55 will also support both mmWave and Sub-6 GHz 5G networks with improved bandwidth on Sub-6GHz.

The Snapdragon 765(G) does come with integrated 5G support, but further details about its modem were scarce but we should hear more on day-2 of the Summit. Apart from these two new processors, Qualcomm also introduces a new in-display fingerprint technology called 3D Sonic Max. Aside from sounding like an old Sega game, this new fingerprint sensor has a significantly larger workable area and even allows the user to authenticate with two fingers, such as using both thumbs. The accuracy of the scanner is also vastly improved.

The added recognition area and improved accuracy are both welcome additions. The Samsung Galaxy S10 used Qualcomm’s current 3D Sonic Sensor but it was often slow, unreliable, and difficult to trigger precisely. Not to mention, it caused authentication problems when used with certain kinds of screen protectors.

We wonder if the Galaxy S11 will use Qualcomm’s new fingerprint technology or if Samsung will develop its own in-display fingerprint tech.

"Harness the power of jaw-dropping, desktop-level gaming with a full suite of brand-new Snapdragon Elite Gaming features—exclusively on the Snapdragon 865—including Desktop Forward Rendering for extreme realism and the first-ever updatable GPU drivers on mobile." says Qualcomm.
