Throughout the three-day event, Qualcomm trotted out heavyweight partners like Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, Lenovo, Google and Microsoft to announce news -- like the first 5G phones to launch in 2019 -- and to dig deep into the enormous speed and power gains that its new chips will bring. The Snapdragon 855 chipset will drive most major Android phones in 2019 and the new 8cx processor, designed specifically for Windows 2-in-1s, will expand Qualcomm's foothold into PC computing. (See every announcement below).

The importance of 5G to Qualcomm cannot be overstated. The shift from 4G to 5G will mark a profound transformation in the way that people use devices, and the way that these devices will talk to each other. 5G is about more than just faster downloads. The technology will put billions of other devices online and enable remote surgery and self-driving cars that can talk to each other to avoid collisions.
