The Snapdragon 888 sports Qualcomm’s third-generation Snapdragon X60 5G Modem-RF System. It offers sub-6 and mmWave 5G support for all major bands worldwide, global multi-SIM, carrier aggregation, and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing.
The latest chipset is also equipped with the new sixth-generation Qualcomm AI Engine paired with the completely re-engineered Qualcomm Hexagon processor. Moreover, the chipset is expected to deliver improved performance and power efficiency for AI tasks with 26 tera operations per second (TOPS). It is also further enhanced with the 2nd generation Qualcomm Sensing Hub, which combines AI processing for instinctive and intelligent features.
The latest 5G chipset of Qualcomm comes with third-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gaming equipped with updateable GPU drivers, desktop forward rendering, and frame rates achieving up to 144 frames per second (fps).
