The arrival of a new Qualcomm processor generates expectations both for the performance and for the terminals that will carry it. For our luck, the list of smartphones that will carry the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 in 2018 has been leaked. We are going to see in detail which companies have decided to mount this processor in their future terminals.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
First of all, it would be nice to make a brief summary of all the benefits of this new processor. For starters, we have the latest from Qualcomm, a 10-nanometer chip with eight cores. Of these cores, 4 move to 2.8 GHz and the other 4 to 1.8 Ghz, we also have the Adreno 630 graphics. All these specifications indicate that we will have a powerful processor capable of moving any last generation application or game without trouble.
We have improvements for multimedia sections such as the ability to record 4K HDR at 60fps and videos at 480 fps. It also adds more support for artificial intelligences. As we can see it is a leading processor and at the height of the times. For all these characteristics and several other keys, the list of smartphones that will carry the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 in 2018 is very interesting.
Smartphones that will carry the Qualcomm 845 in 2018
The main brands will bet on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 as the nerve center of their flagships in 2018. Among these brands we find Samsung. Its new flagship devices would carry this processor. Both the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Samsung Galaxy S9 + and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 would mount this chip. But we have to bear in mind that we will very surely have a version of each of these terminals with Samsung's own processor, the Exynos.
Another brand that does not want to be left behind is LG. Its 2018 high-end would also come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 inside. Specifically, they would be the L G G7, LG G7 + and the LG V40. In this list we find another Asian manufacturer that will bet on this processor. HTC would renew its HTC U11 and HTC U11 + with the new HTC U12 and HTC U12 + that would include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.
We have seen in leaks how Sony wants to make a design change in its terminals. This design change may be accompanied by this new processor. The Sony Xperia XZ Pro-A is the terminal that will carry the new Qualcomm processor. Xiaomi will bet on this processor in the successor of the Mi Mix 2 and Mi 6, we are talking about the Mi Mix 3 and Mi 7. We hope that these terminals will officially arrive in Spain now that they have opened stores in different parts of the Spanish territory.
The mother company of Android will renew its Pixel 2 and 2XL in 2018 with the new Google Pixel 3 and 3XL and will obviously mount the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. Other companies such as OnePlus look to a more distant future and their OnePlus 6T will mount this processor in addition to the OnePlus 6. For fans of this brand, you can already take for granted that the "T" versions of their terminals are here to stay as with the OnePlus 5T. That's not counting some special edition like the Star Wars edition of the OnePlus 5T.
Companies like ZTE also appear in this list. The ZTE Nubia Z18s will be in charge of containing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. The Moto Z 2019 has not been excluded either and will have this processor signed by Qualcomm. At the moment we only have to wait for the arrival of all these smartphones, what we do know for sure is that 2018 will be an interesting year for mobile technology.
