The expected flag processor was introduced at the beginning of December last year Snapdragon 888 5G. He still holds the leading position among Android chipsets, but a few moments ago he was humbled by a follower from his own portfolio.
The American giant only recently officially introduced an improved sibling in the form of a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G. After a classic six-month interval, it brings a few improvements that move it to the top of performance.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G
Snapdragon 888+ 5G comes to the market with various improvements. The main ones concern the frequency of the main core and artificial intelligence. Deployment of this processor is expected in the second half of this year.
The eight-core processor, such as its predecessor, is made with modern 5 nm technology. The main core has a frequency 3 GHz, which is approximately a 2,84% improvement over 6 GHz. Positive news also affected AI (artificial intelligence).
AI performance was increased by less than 20% (from 26 TOPS to 32 TOPS). There is also the well-known Adreno 660 GPU graphics chipset, Bluetooth 5.2 and Quick Charge 5 support. AI enhancements should, for example, improve the quality of video calls with real-time background blur.
Xiaomi as one of the first candidates
Qualcomm announced at its conference that Honor, Motorola, Vivo, Asus and Xiaomi plan to deploy this processor in their smartphones in the second half of 2021. In the case of Xiaomi, it could be a model Xiaomi Mi MIX 4.
