Upcoming flagship smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset

Qualcomm’s flagship chipsets have always been manufacturer’s go-to processors for their top-of-the-line handsets. Every year, the chipset manufacturing company introduces a new flagship chipset with tons of improvements over its predecessor. And 2016 was no different. Qualcomm has introduced its latest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 835 back in November last year. As most of you may already know, the company will produce Snapdragon 835 chipset in collaboration with Samsung using its 10nm FinFET fabrication process.

For the unaware, the FinFET fabrication process allows manufacturers to reduce the size of the chipset (as small as 10nm) without comprising on the number of transistors. As a result, the transistor density on the chipset will be higher which in turn leads to a reduction in current leakage.

Qualcomm claims that the new Snapdragon 835 chipset based on 10nm fabrication process will offer up to 27 percent better performance and 40 percent lower power consumption in comparison to its 14nm processor (the Snapdragon 820). In addition, the new chipset will support Quick Charge 4.0 which is claimed to offer better charging speeds.

Here’s a list of smartphones that are speculated to feature the Snapdragon 835 chipset.

Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S8 will probably be the first set of smartphones to come with the Snapdragon 835 chipset. The smartphone is alleged to pack 6GB of RAM (4GB of RAM for select markets) and 64GB of internal storage space which can be expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card.

The Galaxy S8 is speculated to have a 5.1-inch footprint with the QHD Super AMOLED display measuring 5.8-inches, thanks to the nearly bezel-less design. Also, from the latest design renders the fingerprint scanner seems to have moved to the back. There’s also a dedicated button for Samsung’s AI-based assistant, Bixby just below the volume rocker key. Although the exact megapixel count is yet-to-be-revealed, the camera on the Galaxy S8 should come with significant upgrades over its predecessor.
