OnePlus selects Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform

NEW DELHI: Qualcomm Technologies has announced that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform will power the latest premium flagship smartphone from OnePlus, the OnePlus 5.

"The Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, complemented by up to 8GB of RAM, is the first commercial mobile SoC manufactured using 10nm FinFET technology, reducing its package size by up to 35 percent and power usage by up to 25 percent compared to Qualcomm Technologies’ previous generation flagship processor. This allows for thinner designs and improved performance in several categories, including CPU, GPU, imaging, connectivity and power efficiency," a statement said.

"The OnePlus 5 is designed to support up to 600Mbps download speeds, as well as "All Mode", making it possible to use your smartphone in nearly every country in the world. Users also enjoy robust whole-home Wi-Fi connectivity using Qualcomm Technologies' integrated 802.11ac 2x2 MU-MIMO technology, which offers twice as much throughput as 1x1 Wi-Fi and improved coverage, especially in homes and offices with brick and concrete walls," it said.

"Snapdragon 835 also supports BT5, which offers doubled peak speeds compared to Bluetooth 4.2 and extended coverage. Additionally, the OnePlus 5 features advanced RF front end features such as Qualcomm TruSignal adaptive antenna tuning with carrier aggregation designed for consistent data speeds and high call reliability, as well as envelope tracking technology for superior power efficiency and long battery life," it added.

"The OnePlus 5 also takes advantage of the integrated Qualcomm Spectra 180 ISP’s dual 14-bit image signal processing working in conjunction with the integrated Qualcomm Hexagon DSP that uses HVX technology to accelerate many of the smartphone’s enhanced imaging experiences. For instance, the OnePlus 5 features the first high-resolution dual-camera system consisting of a 16MP camera sensor with a wide-angle lens plus a second 20MP camera sensors that has a telephoto lens," according to statement.

“We’re pleased that OnePlus has selected the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform to power their upcoming premium flagship smartphone, delivering some of the most advanced and immersive user experiences possible,” said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president and general manager, mobile, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “It also enables support for next-generation entertainment experiences and connected cloud services.”

“We design each of our flagship smartphones with premium quality in mind, both on the inside and outside, and we are happy to continue our long history of working with Qualcomm Technologies by selecting the Snapdragon 835 for its ability to drive a truly premium smartphone experience in the OnePlus 5,” said Kyle Kiang, global head of marketing, OnePlus.
