The Snapdragon 865 chipset is ‘loaded with 5G,’ according to Qualcomm, and it’s ready to power the next round flagship-level Android smartphones starting in early 2020.
It’ll almost certainly be found at the heart of the Samsung Galaxy S11, Note 11, LG G9, OnePlus 8, Google Pixel 5 and so on, although the official Snapdragon 865 phones list will have to wait – likely until MWC 2020. Mid-range phones gunning for higher performance will likely pick the Snapdragon 765, also just introduced by Qualcomm, but top-tier Android phones will almost surely opt for the Snapdragon 865.
