Snapdragon 865 Plus is the first Qualcomm SoC to break the 3 GHz clock speed barrier

-


    The Snapdragon 865 is undoubtedly the most impressive processor for Android phones right now, owing to its all-around power, bundled 5G modem, and expansive multimedia capabilities. The company thinks it can offer something a little better for the second half of the year, as they announced the new Snapdragon 865 Plus, which is aimed at offering a performance boost for phones released between now and the beginning of 2021.

    Qualcomm has done the same for previous-generation chips, too. As we saw with the Snapdragon 855 Plus in 2019 and the Snapdragon 821 back in 2016, the Snapdragon 865 Plus delivers improved speeds for the Prime CPU core and for the Adreno 650 GPU. The Prime CPU core now sees a leap from 2.84GHz to 3.1GHz, breaking the 3GHz barrier in the process. The other CPU cores don’t see any changes though. The Adreno 650 GPU offers 10 percent faster graphics rendering. 

    It has newly added compatibility for Qualcomm’s FastConnect 6900 connectivity suite, which the company says supports Wi-Fi speeds up to 3.6Gbps. Moreover, you’ve got Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 instead of Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 on the vanilla flagship silicon thanks to the Qualcomm's FastConnect 6900 connectivity suite.

    Like the regular Snapdragon 865, the Snapdragon 865 Plus features Qualcomm’s Hexagon 698 with Hexagon Vector Extensions and Hexagon Tensor Accelerator, 5th-generation AI Engine, Dual 14-bit Spectra 480 ISP, Snapdragon X55 5G modem-RF system, Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ charging technology, and more. It’s produced on TSMC’s second-generation 7nm DUV (N7P) process.

    Asus and Lenovo have both confirmed that they’ll be among the first brands to support the new SoC, in the form of the ROG Phone 3 and the rumored Legion Gaming Phone. But it may not be the best choice for all phone manufacturers, which may want to emphasize battery life over raw performance. Considering that, it’s likely that many new flagship devices will continue to feature the standard Snapdragon 865 because the Snapdragon 865 plus is technically just an overclocked version of the original Snapdragon 865.

Galaxy Note 20 Impressions: Not Impressed! You should get the Galaxy S20 instead.

    Since, the Galaxy Note 20 isn't rumors and speculations and actually is launched. Here are our impression and the reasons why we think the Note 20 isn't a worthy device of the Note brand.      Our initial impressions of the new Galaxy Note 20 are not very good and its not surprising as the device has some major downgrades over the Ultra model. The Note series has always been the top-end device from Samsung which features all the latest and greatest tech they have to offer. With the Note 20, however, its not just doing justice to the Note name it carries. Aside from that its priced at a whopping $1,000. Creating this much difference between the two models makes the Note 20 a much inferior but expensive device.      At this price point, the device is supposed to have all the bells and whistles if not then at least close to that since smartphone prices have been increasing every year. So, what does this device has to offer?     First disappointment, though it effects both mod

     OnePlus launched the $700 OnePlus 8 and $900 OnePlus 8 Pro earlier this year, but the company is already planning its next major smartphone launch: The OnePlus Nord. The OnePlus Nord is the newest smartphone from OnePlus, marking the company's return to its roots as a maker of low-cost handsets that still sport the kind of features you'd find in a flagship.       But OnePlus Nord is more than just a phone —Nord is actually a product line of affordable devices that pack in premium capabilities. Though, OnePlus is yet to reveal the Nord phone or other devices that will make up the Nord family.      Here's everything we know about the OnePlus Nord. Unlike other OnePlus phones which are focused on speed and performance, the OnePlus Nord is focused on price. The OnePlus Nord is expected to be priced under $500 which means that it will be in direct competition with the iPhone SE and Samsung Galaxy A71. The OnePlus Nord will support 5G connectivity, making it one of the cheap
