It is well known that most mobile phone companies manufacture different components for their mobiles depending on the market they are aimed at. An example of this is the Samsung Galaxy S9, a terminal that has two versions: the American model and the international model. A little less than a month ago the company presented the Exynos 9820, the heart of the Samsung Galaxy S10 in its variant for Europe and Spain. This time it is the processor of the American variant that has been leaked through the well-known Twitter user Roland Quandt. We are referring to the Snapdragon 855.
Snapdragon 855: 7 nanometers and three different architectures
The Snapdragon 855 will be the main component of a good part of the high-end mobiles in 2019. Although the only thing that was known so far of this was its name, this very morning all its characteristics have been completely filtered.
In short, the Qualcomm processor will be a 7 nanometer built processor with three different architectures running at 1.78 GHz, 2.42GHz, and 2.84GHz. Along with these, the Adreno 640 GPU and a physical NPU intended for Artificial Intelligence processing. In addition to this, two X24 and X50 modems compatible with 5G and 4G + networks will be integrated that will help improve the connection speed both in WiFi and mobile data.
How does all this data translate into real life? Although benchmarks and performance tests for the Snapdragon 855 have not yet been revealed, it is expected that it will have significantly better performance than the previous Snapdragon 845 and close to Apple's A12 Bionic. This power improvement is also transferred when executing games and processes that require Artificial Intelligence by integrating a physical NPU and an improved GPU.
In terms of autonomy, the Qualcomm unit now has 7 nanometers. This represents an improvement over the 845 of 42%, which will translate into better management of system resources and of course, the battery. For the rest, we do not know more data about the next of the North American company. The only thing we can do is wait to see the first performance tests to see how the processor of the Samsung Galaxy S10 and the rest of the high-end models will behave.
