The heart of your next smartphone has been unveiled at CES 2017 today, and you may have missed it because it’s incredibly small.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 chipset is the first-ever 10nm chipset and despite its diminutive size, it’s poised to power large-scale entertainment experiences.
It’s about to take everyone’s ambitious dreams for virtual reality to the next level with proper capabilities for VR and AR head-mounted displays.
You’re also going to find the Snapdragon 835 chipset in security cameras, mobile PCs and even Windows 10 devices in addition to Android handsets.
The Snapdragon 835 specs outclass the recent Snapdragon 821 chipset found in the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL thanks to a whole new class of sensors.
It combines the power of Qualcomm’s Kryo 280 CPU and Hexagon 682 DSP, and uses a new and all-important Qualcomm Adreno 540 GPU to power 3D graphics and much more intensive VR features.
It also debuts Bluetooth 5 and has a X16 LTE modem that includes 802.11ad for Multi-gigabit connectivity, allowing for Gigabit Class LTE connectivity.
