Virtually Always on, Always Connected*

The Snapdragon 835 mobile PC platform features our industry leading Snapdragon X16 LTE modem that is designed to support an always connected internet experience that’s faster than most Wi-Fi networks in homes and offices. With Gigabit LTE, the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X16 LTE modem supports download speeds up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps). That’s 3 – 7x faster than the average U.S. broadband speed¹. Users can be always on and in the know as the display instantly turns on just like a smartphone and with connected standby, apps, email and data are always synced and up-to-date.

Beyond all-day battery life

The Snapdragon 835 mobile PC platform is designed to optimize power consumption and performance across our octa-core architecture, so consumers benefit from beyond-all day battery life of up to 20+ hours. By integrating the core technologies onto a single 10nm chip (CPU, GPU, DSP, Modem, and more), OEMs can deliver up to 2X longer battery life and 4-5x longer battery life in connected standby than with competing solutions. The Snapdragon 835 mobile PC platform puts mobile users ahead and OEMs out in front.

Sleek designs

Our small, but mighty platform packs a powerful punch giving OEMs up to 30% more room on the board and greater flexibility to build sleek, modern, portable devices that consumers want loaded with the cutting-edge capabilities users need. Snapdragon mobile platform generates very little heat so OEMs can build PCs without complex and noisy cooling fans which leads to quiet, thin designs with beyond all-day battery life.

Gigabit Class connectivity

The Snapdragon X16 LTE modem is designed to deliver peak download speeds up to one Gigabit per second. That’s 10X as fast as first-generation 4G LTE, along with integrated 2x2 11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi—giving you wireless Internet access at fiber optic speeds

Advanced Qualcomm Spectra camera ISP

The 14-bit Qualcomm Spectra™ 180 ISP supports capture of up to 32 megapixels with zero shutter lag, and offers smooth zoom, fast autofocus and true-to-life colors for improved image quality.

Qualcomm security suite

Get comprehensive user and device authentication with the Qualcomm Security Suite, which includes a full biometric suite for fingerprint scanning, voice, iris and facial recognition.

Powerful Kryo CPU

The Qualcomm® Kryo™ 280 64-bit CPU built on ARM Cortex Technology has our most power-efficient architecture to date—with independent efficiency and power clusters, each designed to optimize for a unique user experience.

Efficient Hexagon 682 DSP

The Qualcomm® Hexagon™ 682 DSP is designed to significantly improve performance and battery life, and includes the Qualcomm All-Ways Aware™ sensor hub.

Immersive visual graphics

The Qualcomm® Adreno™ 540 GPU supports real-life-quality visuals for exciting immersive experiences with an optimized balance of power and performance.
