We are already used with Qualcomm to release its new generation of high-end processors every beginning of December. This year wasn’t an exception as well. The company announced on the 1st of December that its newest premium mobile chipset is Snapdragon 888. This chipset will be the future flagship of M1 11 of Xiaomi.
It will also power up the most emblematic smartphones of the first half of the next year. Between the companies that offered their support we can find huge companies such as: LG, Motorola, OnePlus, ASUS, Oppo and Lenovo.
Faster CPU and better Performance
Snapdragon 888 will come with a new and more powerful CPU named Kryo 680. The company promises that the performance of this chip will increase by as much as 25 percent higher than its previous generation. The maximum clock speed that it can reach will be an impressive one for a smartphone, 2.84Ghz. Qualcomm had developed a new GPU too. The so-called Adreno 660 GPU will improve the graphics rendering performance with 35 percent more than the last GPU. Power consumption is also seeing an improvement over the previous Snapdragon 875 model. The two newest GPU and CPU will be more power-efficient with at least 20 percent (Adreno 660) and respectively 25 percent (Kyro 680) better.
The new Adreno GPU is mainly designed for 144 fps games and it will accept all the GPU drivers updates. Although we yet need to know more about this, the company says that this is one of its biggest improvements until this day.
The new Snapdragon 888 is a 5 nm processor and different from the past 800 Qualcomm series as it comes with an integrated modem. The third generation of Qualcomm 5 nm is named Snapdragon X60 5G. As the company mentions, the new modem will bring a worldwide compatibility for 5G mmWave and sub-6Ghz bandwidth. The new emblematic processor comes with a new AI (sixth generation). The hexagonal processor will bring a considerable leap towards AI performance, reaching as much as 26 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS). It also features a Qualcomm Sensing Hub from the second generation, which implements other AI processes for intelligent and intuitive functions. With these performance improvements you won’t have to worry about playing the newest games on the market. Your slots games will run as smooth as they can.
A New Camera
It is well known that the Qualcomm company has a “weakness” for the camera. The new upgraded Spectra 580 ISP camera will be the first of its kind to feature a triple ISP. This new feature will allow the user to capture at the same time three 4k HDR video streams or as many as 120 photos at 12 MP. With its 35 percent faster gigapixels (2.7) it can also make three 28-megapixel photos simultaneous.
The camera will perform better in low-light conditions and it will also take better night photos. The new sensors can better capture now the fast-moving objects. From this combination of the camera and AI the phone will be able to automatically detect and select the best feature for all circumstances. The company’s vice president, Katouzian, says that the users won’t need to bother about the technical details.
TruePic technology is also implemented in the new processor. The technology basically verifies photos and videos very quickly, to make sure they are real and to prevent deep fakes. It also features the third generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gaming technology which will boost your video effects on your smartphone.
Conclusion
The new generation of high-end 5G phones are finally here. And so it is only natural that they require a chip worthy of all their features. Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 promises to be one of the best chips from 2021. It is very likely that if you will want to acquire a smartphone in the near future to contain this high-performance chip.
