Snapdragon 875: It will have support for fast charging at 100W but with an increased price

Η Qualcomm is expected to present him Snapdragon 875 in December, with the first devices with this processor released in the first quarter of 2021.

ΚEvery year the prices of the flagships go up, as the components for the manufacture of smartphones become more and more expensive. This year the prices went up mainly due to the 5G modem that comes integrated in Snapdragon 865, but according to information from time to time prices will rise even more.

Qualcomm is expected to introduce him Snapdragon 875 in December, with the first devices with this processor to be released in the first quarter of 2021. We already know that its mass production has started, with the manufacturing method of 5nm from TSMC and expect to be equipped with one Cortex-X1 and three Cortex-A77 for power cores.

In accordance with Digital Chat Station, the main feature of the new SoC will be the support of fast charging up to 100w, something that will help a lot in reducing the charge, especially in the mobiles with over 5.000mAh battery. However, this seems to raise the production costs a lot, as well as its complete package Snapdragon 875 will cost $ 250, with the chip alone amounting to $ 130. In comparison, the Snapdragon 865 the set costs $ 150-160 and the chip $ 80 alone.

This practically means that we will see the prices of the flagships of 2021 pinched, without of course knowing at the moment how much they will rise. Until then, the company is preparing for its release Snapdragon 865 +, which will be timed to 3.09GHz, unlike the simple 865 which is clocked at 2.84GHz.
