With the exception of Huawei, nearly all Android OEMs planning to release a 5G-ready handset this year will use Qualcomm’s standalone Snapdragon X50 or X55. This Snapdragon X55 is Qualcomm’s second 5G chipset and works alongside the main SoC to provide 5G connectivity. However, the company has now announced that its third 5G baseband silicon will be integrated into its next chipset, giving several advantages to the smartphone manufacturer. According to the latest information, Samsung will be the first to take advantage of this chip.
During the Mobile World Congress, Qualcomm introduced its first SoC which contains the application processor as well as the 5G modem. This means that the next generation of 5G phones will not have to use a separate 5G modem that hogs resources such as space and power as the SoC will come with a built-in 5G modem.
