Qualcomm’s 2019 flagship chipset is called the Snapdragon 855

Qualcomm will market its next flagship mobile chipset as the Snapdragon 855, the San Diego-based chipmaker announced on Tuesday at its third annual Snapdragon Tech Summit in Hawaii.

The system-on-a-chip (SoC), briefly known as the Snapdragon 8150 in pre-release benchmarks, will feature mulit-gigabit 5G connectivity and an all-new multi-core aritificial intelligence (AI) engine, according to Alex Katouzian, senior vice-president and general manager of mobile at Qualcomm.

In addition, the chipset features a new computer vision-focused image signal processor that Qualcomm says will deliver entirely new photo and video features. The company also teased the inclusion of its new Snapdragon Elite Gaming platform, which the company says will elevate mobile gaming to a new level.

Katouzian promised to reveal further details on the upcoming SoC during day two of the company’s Snapdragon Tech Summit in Maui.

The 855 will arrive in high-end Android devices starting partway through next year.
