Snapdragon 875 drives gaming phones to exceed charging speeds

06/29/2020 Technology


Snapdragon 875 is Qualcomm’s next rumored flagship chip, which is expected to be a significant update on the current Snapdragon 865 SoC. The Snapdragon 865 is manufactured in a 7nm process, while the next silicon will be manufactured at 5nm, making it which would make it faster and more efficient. Greater energy conversion would be performed from the dash X60 5G modem.

Digital Chat Station claims that next year’s gaming smartphones that will run on Qualcomm’s unannounced chip will feature large batteries in addition to supporting fast charging. This sounds like a winning combination, as it will not only increase charging speed, but also battery capacity, allowing users to spend more time without draining their phones.

Xiaomi has highlighted concerns with 100W fast charging

That said, while the 100W charge may look good on paper, in the long run, it can harm your phone’s battery more than good. OPPO apparently has recognized that its 40W fast charge technology degrades a battery much faster than 15W charge.

Xiaomi Vice President Lu Weibing also warned that super fast charging has many limitations, including the previously mentioned loss of capacity, deployment issues, sustainability issues, security issues, and compatibility issues.

Extended gaming sessions already require a massive battery, which explains why ASUS ROG PHONE II comes with a gigantic 6,000 mAh cell. Since the Snapdragon 875 will make 5G a standard feature, the power consumption will be higher, which perhaps explains why Chinese manufacturers are eager to produce phones with larger batteries and faster charging speeds.

If the leak is accurate, the first of these devices should arrive in the first quarter of 2021.
