News & Reviews:   Qualcomm

You already know there's Quick Charge 4.0, now get ready for Quick Charge 5.0! It was officially announced by Qualcomm a few hours ago at this time of posting and it's the world's first commercial 100W+ charging platform that will arrive soon this year.

Based on a statement by sammobile.com, it seems that Samsung will be manufacturing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875G and Snapdragon 735G chipsets using their 5nm EUV manufacturing process. With that said, our source mentioned that the transistors on the 5nm process are about 25% smaller compared to 7nm which allows manufacturers to pack more transistors on the chip.

As speculated over the past few weeks, Qualcomm have finally revealed the long-awaited Snapdragon 865+ 5G Mobile Platform. Presented by Senior Vice President and General Manager of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc, Alex Katouzian said this new chipset will more powerful in terms of gameplay and a more "intuitive" AI.

When you hear the word Qualcomm, you would usually think of their chipsets for smartphones. Well, the company just decided to make some for smartwatches too and it's been a long overdue. Today, the company isn't introducing one but two new smartwatch chipsets - the Snapdragon Wear 4100 and 4100+.

If you're a Xiaomi fan or a smartphone tech enthusiast, you should probably notice by now that Xiaomi flagships are getting pricier than usual. Although they are still relatively affordable than most premium phones, the year 2021 could very well change that as according to a report from South Korea, 2021 Xiaomi flagships are not the exception.

The flagships from Samsung with Exynos chipset series have always caught in comparison with the variants that come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset series. Sadly, the ones with Exynos chipsets were always defeated in the battles due to weaker performance. By being determined to win for once, the Korean tech giant has raised the efforts into research and development for a new K-Chip series.

With 5G technology picking back up its feet to the tech world, Qualcomm was secretly working on a new chipset all this while. Introducing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G chipset, it will be the first 600-series that is integrated with 5G technology.

At the end of this year, we will be getting the next flagship chipset from Qualcomm. Apart from being excited about the chipset, there is also something else that would excite you even more and it's a smartphone feature that we've been waiting for quite some time. It is rumoured that smartphones that pack both Snapdragon 875 chipset and in-display front-facing camera are already in the works.

At the beginning of the year, we saw the news that OPPO will be manufacturing chipsets to be used on their own devices. The process of making a chipset takes a long time and great effort, so it might have to be a while before OPPO's chipset gets to meet the world. However, it is said that the company is now speeding up the process because of the US sanctions that happened between the US and Huawei.

We know how you all love the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset series and we just got some juicy news. According to sources, the company is expected to release their next-gen flagship chipset - the Snapdragon 875. If the rumours are true, this unannounced chipset will be much stronger than we think compared with the current SD 865 chipset.
