The war among mobile chipsets appears to be getting fiercer by the day. Details of the specifications of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 processor have just leaked, and the specs are pretty interesting.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chipset has now appeared in a new leak, and we have seen some of its specifications. The chip has the code name SM8350. One of the highlights is that it will be built on a 5nm process. It will come with the X60 5G modem-RF system. However, the leak did not reveal if Qualcomm will integrate the 5G modem or make it optional. If the current market trends are anything to go by though, Qualcomm will likely integrate it.

We expect the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chip to feature some upgrade in performance, but we do not yet know by how much it will perform better than the Snapdragon 865.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 Specifications
The leaked specifications of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chipset have revealed a lot about the chip. In the CPU department, the chip will come with a Kryo 685 CPU built on Arm v8 Cortex technology. It will use an Adreno 660 GPU, Adreno 665 VPU, and Adreno 1095 DPU.

In the connectivity department, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 supports 3G/ 4G/ 5G modem – millimeter wave (mmWave) as well as sub-6GHz bands. It also supports external 802.11ax, 2×2 MIMO, and Bluetooth Milan.

If older release time tables are followed, Qualcomm will likely release the Snapdragon 875 at its year-end conference in December. However, we cannot say for sure right now, considering the effects of the current coronavirus pandemic around the world.

So it begins..... Qualcomm doesn't want to be left behind in brining near PC specs to Android devices.

With the way things are, ROG 3 global might be the first device to launch with the 875

Ok

@Bolded I knew Qualcomm will never give up, they v faced different challenges at every segement of the market and they came on top. My only beef with them is that they hold the market to ransom and dictate negatively which has impacted consumer in a negative manner. Imagine midrange going up to $600 while flagship killers going up to $1000+ just because Qualcomm decided to increase price by his own wisdom and there is no alternative capable chips except over heating mediatek and lagging exynos, while kirin has technically been killed by american policies and Intel Atom is dead abd burried.

Big processors,big specs, plenty RAM with nothing to utilize it, just to make sure people find a reason to buy new phones every year.

This, unfortunately, is spot on accurate.

Old flagships bearing the SD845 will still perform even the heaviest of tasks you toss at it even next year. But, they don't manufacture them for long so that they can force OEMs to purchase the new flagship SoCs.


They know that if they leave this SoCs in the market and then midrangers start using these older flagship SoCs there will be no need to buy new flagship devices. Until there are tasks worth all that processing power, buying a new flagship every year is not worth it.

You're better off buying a decent $1000 - $1500 laptop and a competent $500 midrange smartphone or a discounted flagship.

#IMO

What's the need for near pc like processors on a mobile phone of the only games you can run on it is still not as good as the 20 years old ps3.
Snapdragon 825 of 5 years can handle anything you throw at it comfortably till today. So I'll stick with my S845 till mobile app developers start using their senses.

Several things caused the drastic price increase on the 865, like the modem not integrated into the chip but sold separately (minus licensing fee) and mediatek dimensity 1000 is missing some specs that could have made people take them more serious despite their previous fvckups.

If Kirin keeps up despite the ban on using GApps, mediatek takes things serious instead of making chips to stay relevant, the monopoly would die off with most of us happy with our purchase.

But if we're being honest, the battle for the best flagship chipset will be between Qualcomm and Exynos.

For emulators, cloud gaming, playing demanding fps and open world games, programming.........

You're right though, only few brands have partnered with devs to enable them release games that'll be able to use the full power of the chip powering their phones, like Asus did for their ROG 2 and this would be a beautiful waste of money and underutilization of the chipset.
