The trend of IT168's next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship processor has always been a concern. At the Qualcomm 4G/5G Summit, Qualcomm's senior vice president Christiano Amon also disclosed certain information about this, and the new Snapdragon flagship processor will Equipped with a Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, this is a modem released in February this year, the downlink speed can reach 1Gbps, to achieve gigabit LTE connectivity. In addition, the NETGEAR mobile router MR1100 built on the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem also made its debut as the first Gigabit LTE consumer terminal that can achieve download speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
Compared to the X12 LTE modems currently installed on the Snapdragon 820/821, the future flagship chipset will be equipped with the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem to further enhance its performance. LAA-assisted access authorization, LTE-U unlicensed spectrum, and advanced connection technologies such as LTE-A Carrier Aggregation (CA), Upstream 64-QAM/Downlink 256-QAM, and 4x4 MIMO can achieve download speeds of 1 Gbps, 150 Mbps. The upload speed reaches Gigabit LTE connections, paving the way for the transition from 4G to 5G.
In addition, NETGEAR closely cooperated with Qualcomm and created the NETGEAR Mobile Router MR1100. Based on the Snapdragon X16 modem, the MR1100 achieves gigabit connectivity performance through three-carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO on two aggregated carriers plus 2x2 MIMO on the third carrier, and 256-QAM high-order modulation.

It is worth mentioning that in September of this year, Qualcomm has also passed tests and announced that it will jointly use Ericsson and Telstra, the Australian telecoms operator, to take the lead in the Telstra's existing network and successfully use the speeds of 979 Mbps for downlink and 129 Mbps for uplink. Snapdragon X16 LTE modem solution. In the future, Gigabit connectivity will bring more possibilities to immersive VR and cloud storage.
In addition to the confirmation of the X16 LTE modem, the next-generation Snapdragon flagship processor is still more speculative and rumors, or will be directly named Snapdragon 835, using Samsung's latest 10nm FinFET process.
