For 2020, we have already announced some flagship Android products, equipped with the latest internal functionality. Most of them are powered by the latest Snapdragon 865 SoC, which brings more processing power and 5G capabilities to the mix. To keep the excitement high, Qualcomm talked about upcoming smartphones that will be powered by the Snapdragon 865, as well as new features and future enhancements. Interestingly, a list was also shared, which confirmed which other upcoming smartphones will be powered by the Snapdragon 865 and sport 5G. Obviously, the list includes smartphones from a multitude of manufacturers. Some of these smartphones have been mentioned for the first time, confirming their upcoming release. A good portion of these are gaming smartphones. Qualcomm said more than 70 Snapdragon 5-powered 865G devices are currently in development with more to come soon.
Snapdragon 865 phones to launch in India
While some of them have already been announced, devices like the Oppo Find X2, Vivo APEX 2020, Redmi K30 Pro, and Black Shark 3 are right around the corner. It seems like almost every Android maker wants to jump on the Snapdragon 865 train and play a role in bringing more 5G smartphones to market.The list includes some notable omissions, such as the upcoming OnePlus 8 series, the Galaxy Fold 2, and Samsung's Note 20 series and others, all of which should be powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset. The speech did not address global availability or timelines. for these phones. But, if we had to guess, we expect the Xiaomi Mi 10 series, Oppo Find X2, Asus Zenfone 7 and Redmi K30 Pro (rebranded or not) to arrive in India. Lenovo was a bit passive late, so it's unclear which markets the Legion gaming phone will go to. Red Magic and Black Shark have not brought their latest gaming phones to India either, so their future also looks uncertain. Sony and ZTE no longer bring their flagship products to India, so even they are off the list. < p lang="en" dir="ltr">Discover: our third generation #5G RF modem system, the #Snapdragon X60.
