    Snapdragon is hardly a leader in battery life. That crown goes to Apple.

    “Our firm solution versus our android competitors”

    Sigh sigh. That means even if you make a better android SoC than them, they can still claim better because you are not “their” competitor.

    Well on one hand integrated modem and 5G and stuff, there Qualcomm is way ahead of Apple. But what about the rest of the things ?

    All this 5g bs is getting a bit boring. The fact that they don't integrate x55 into sd865 is a big meh. I prefer to have only sub 6ghz but integrated into soc like mediatek and others do.
    mmwave will be used only in big metropolitan areas. Other than that it is basically useless

    They are versus the other Android SoC vendors like they mentioned

    It depend which soc you are talking about, snapdragon 835 can easly surpass new iphones in terms of battery life.

    Phone like xperia xz1 compact with just 2700mah beat iphone 11 with 3100mah.

    What are the media decode capabilities? 8K60? AV1?

    They probably didn't announce then yet. Today was primarily about 5G (modem) stuff.
    The summit lasts for three days, so, that have to stagger their info drops (though this one looked pretty sparse).
    What I'd like to know is if they've improved their inferencing accuracy with ml. The last time I looked they were at the back of the pack (exynos, Kirin)

    It's funny how Qualcomm's Zeroth was the first I'd heard of a cell phone SoC integrating any kind of inferencing capability. From that, to the back of the pack, in just a few short years?

    Na, Qualcomm and Kirin/Apple have been leap frogging each with each new release every ~6 months
    Samsung are currently at the bottom of the pack

    What?
    Qualcomm have always lead versus Exynos, who are the worst at ML

    For per test error look at the detailed results.

    Just to emphasize, I'm talking about accuracy, not just performance.
  • ksec - Wednesday, December 4, 2019 - link

    Qualcomm is not part of the Open Media Alliance, for theI dont know how many times.
  • nandnandnand - Wednesday, December 4, 2019 - link

    That's true. Throw all Qualcomm products into the garbage where they belong.

    There was a lot of corporate babble, I'm surprised I read the entire thing. Personally I go to music venues where people put away their phones, not take them out. There wasn't much to convince me of 5G in that presentation. Technology requires lower costs for revolutions, will I suddenly get 100GB per month for $40? No? Then it isn't a revolution. A big one for me is finally replacing home internet with mobile internet, but I don't see that happening soon. It was a big deal when you could save a lot of money buy combining your mobile phone bill with your home phone bill.

    Too many catches they didn't clarify on, e.g. how DSS impacts speeds on 4G, and likely throttled data for eventual cheaper 5G plans, which brings it closer back to 4G without truly matching 4G in price.
  • s.yu - Wednesday, December 4, 2019 - link

    "Dynamic spectrum sharing is required"
    Very curious about DSS, how much speed did each of the demonstration devices actually get? We can't tell from the slides.

    Will you be getting the 865 QRD soon?
  • Techsways - Wednesday, December 25, 2019 - link

    Snapdragon is best for gaming processer

    The case shares many similarities with its sibling: The matte back with a subtle dot pattern, the chrome-colored frame with the 2 surrounding grooves, and therefore the silver frame of the house button really reminds us of the Samsung Galaxy S5. Samsung fans love the case because it's light; the folks that don't like Samsung revile it because it's completely manufactured from plastic. As a fact, the fabric impression isn't as sophisticated because the HTC One Mini 2, as an example, is totally fabricated from metal. However, the case is sturdy: Pressure on the rear or the front isn't visible on the screen.
