Qualcomm is all set to announce the successor to their successful flagship SOCs 820 and 821 next week at CES keynote. The highly awaited chipset will come with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 support which has claimed 5 hours of battery life with 5 minutes of charging. Qualcomm also claims that a smartphone with the Snapdragon 835 could be charged from 0 to 50% within 15 minutes.
The Technologies division of the San Diego-based company stated that every fourth consumer thinks time for charging is too long and their engineers aimed to solve specifically this problem. Quick Charge 4 is aimed at this perspective in specific.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 will provide consistent performance and battery usage both to devices with USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery. The chipset will also have divided charge current for more efficient thermal dissipation in order to optimize power delivery.
Another innovation that is worth mentioning is INOV (Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage) – the new version is actually an algorithm that in any given moment reads what amount of power the mobile device needs.
The octacore Snapdragon 835 will run on 2.2 GHz with the new Adreno 540 GPU which is up to 30% more powerful and 40% more efficient that its predecessor Adreno 530.
Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6 and Xiaomi Mi6 are some of the reported devices that will use Qualcomm’s new chipset.
