Although Samsung has not yet introduced either Galaxy S9 and it is already starting to be speculated about Galaxy S10. Apparently, the flagship that the South Korean giant will introduce next year should have a more powerful chip than this year's Galaxy S9. The heart of the international version Galaxy The S9 is an Exynos 9810 and the American version is a Snapdragon 845. Samsung had to stick with the 10nm process, but 7nm chips should appear in smartphones as early as next year, i.e. Galaxy S10.
Yesterday, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon X24, a new LTE modem for smartphones that promises theoretical download speeds of up to 2 Gbps. Qualcomm claims this is the first Category 20 LTE modem to support such high speeds. The Snapdragon X24 will thus become the first LTE modem built on the 7 nm architecture.
Qualcomm said the modem will hit commercial devices sometime later this year, so it won't debut with the Snapdragon 845 chip that powers the US version Galaxy S9. Snapdragon 845 has Snapdragon X20 LTE modem.
Although Qualcomm did not confirm that the upcoming processor, i.e. Snapdragon 855, will be manufactured using the 7nm process. This is only speculation, based on the LinkedIn profile of one of the supplier's employees.
The Snapdragon 855, which would have the Snapdragon X24 modem, would thus become the first 7nm mobile processor in the world. AND Galaxy The S10 would become the first smartphone to have such a processor.
