Earlier today San Diego chip giant Qualcomm announced an upgrade to its Snapdragon 855. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 855 in Huawei last year and the SoC focuses on neural and image signal processing by increasing die area for these calculations. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 Plus announced today is focused for gaming devices, as the company has raised clock speeds for the chip’s GPU and CPU. Now, we can confirm that the first gaming smartphone with the Snapdragon 855+ will be ASUS’ ROG Phone II. Take a look below for more details.

With TSMC decreasing semiconductor feature size on a yearly basis, high-end smartphone processors are capable of performing heavy-duty computations at acceptable power levels. This capability has led to the creation of a brand-new niche of flagship smartphones that are customized for gaming. We’ve been lucky to get our hands on Razer’s entry in this niche – the Razer Phone and Razer Phone 2.
