Qualcomm has announced<\/strong><\/a> its new flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 865.<\/p>\n

The chipset is expected to be available in upcoming flagship Android phones in 2020, including the Samsung Galaxy S11 and Note 11 series.<\/p>\n

Notably, it does not support built-in 5G capability, but will need to be paired with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem to enable these network features.<\/p>\n

Qualcomm said that the Snapdragon 865 will be exclusive to 5G phones, meaning no 4G devices will include Qualcomm’s premium chip.<\/p>\n

In addition to the announcement of the 865 chip, Qualcomm has launched the Snapdragon 765, a lower-tier chip that will offer integrated 5G support.<\/p>\n

According to The Verge<\/strong><\/a>, this could indicate that 5G support may soon no longer be limited to flagship devices and could be employed in mid-to-high-range phones.<\/p>\n

The full specifications of the processors are due to be revealed later today, during the keynote address at Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon Tech Summit.<\/p>\n

Dual-fingerprint sensor<\/h3>\n

Qualcomm also announced a new in-display fingerprint sensor named the 3D Sonic Max.<\/p>\n

The new sensor offers a larger recognition area and the ability to authenticate with two fingers.<\/p>\n

The company said this would greatly improve the accuracy of the scanner.<\/p>\n
