The new Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem is compatible with 5G Advanced, a promising new standard that won’t arrive until 2024.
5G is still very young. If it’s much easier to find today than it was in the early days, then its performance and reliability are sometimes very questionable, which means some are in no hurry to get rid of LTE. Qualcomm is moving in the right direction, so to speak. The company has just unveiled its Snapdragon X75, the first 5G Advanced compatible mobile modem, according to Qualcomm. This new cellular standard promises improvements in all areas (bandwidth, coverage, reliability, and traffic management). You can see noticeable speed improvements, less signal dropouts, and better performance on congested networks.
New Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 Modem Compatible with 5G Advanced
Qualcomm has announced that its new Snapdragon X75 modem will be available in the second half of 2019. The chip is designed to support 5G networks and is improved over previous generations with longer battery life and more stable performance in challenging environments such as advertising agencies or subways. The modem can manage 5G/4G data on two SIM cards at the same time. Download speed has also been improved and Qualcomm Satellite technology has been included.
A promising new standard that will not appear before 2024.
Ultimately, the question is when we, the general public, will be able to see the benefits of 5G Advanced. The standard should only come into effect in 2024, and of course it will be a long time before your carrier accepts it. Either way, the Snapdragon X75 modem lays the groundwork for compatible smartphones so you can get it before your carrier adopts the technology.
