These extras, from camera features to new forms of face and fingerprint unlocking, come within the chip, but it's up to the phone maker to turn them on and make them work with the phone's unique software chemistry. They aren't guaranteed. All of this lays out the context for the Snapdragon 855 demos I saw at Qualcomm's third annual Snapdragon conference last week. Qualcomm paraded around some (but not all) of the 855's most interesting features, which various global phone makers could roll into their devices for 2019 and beyond.

Two of the best were notably missing. We didn't get a chance to see ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, which gains passage to your locked phone by bouncing sound waves off your finger's unique ridges and valleys (luckily, we saw it earlier; watch the video below). Also conspicuously missing was the demo for portrait 4K HDR video, which applies the portrait mode (bokeh) that you love so much with still photography to a moving video. Qualcomm claims you'll be able to switch the backgrounds on your depth-effect video if you want to, choosing from a library of other scenes.
