Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform with 5G Support Announced

Qualcomm has introduced the first commercial 5G mobile platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform at  Snapdragon Tech Summit. It will enable commercial 5G networks and mobile devices in Early 2019.

Snapdragon 855 mobile platform will be combined with Snapdragon X50 5G modem family and Qualcomm QTM052 mmWave antenna modules with integrated RF transceiver, RF front-end and antenna elements, helping OEMs address the exponential increase in device design complexity that comes with 5G in both sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands.

Qualcomm says that Snapdragon 855 is the world’s first commercial 5G mobile platform featuring sub-6 GHz and mmWave support, 4th-generation on-device AI engine, offering 3 times the AI performance compared to the previous generation mobile platform, true 4K HDR video capture, 3D Sonic Sensor, the world’s first commercial ultrasonic fingerprint solution supported under the display to accurately detect fingerprints through numerous contaminants.

It is based on 7-nanometer fabrication process. It also features the world’s first Computer Vision (CV) ISP to enable cutting-edge computational photography and video capture features.
