Always On*
With the Snapdragon 850 mobile compute platform powering an Always On, Always Connected* PC, users get instant on with the touch of a button, multi-day battery life**, and efficient performance through modern form factors that run cool and quiet without fans. It features a 25% increase in battery life, 30% faster graphics and processing speeds over the previous generation, and 4-5x longer time in connected standby vs. competing solutions.
Always Connected
A Snapdragon 850 mobile compute platform is designed to support virtually constant connectivity with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X20 LTE modem. Peak download speeds are up to 1.2 gigabits—a 20% improvement compared with the previous generation. The Snapdragon X20 modem has also been improved from its previous design, so you’ll have up to 70% faster LTE connectivity speeds in weak cellular signal conditions or on the edge of the network, too. And the platform is engineered to be always connected* so you can receive notifications and sync your data—even in sleep mode.
Artificial Intelligence
The Qualcomm® Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine and heterogeneous computing architecture on the Snapdragon 850 mobile compute platform supports compelling on-device camera experiences and voice user interface (UI) features, as well as superior battery life.
Entertainment
10-bit HDR video playback and streaming, low-light photography, Hi-Fi surround sound, and immersive casual gaming are all made possible by the Snapdragon 850 mobile compute platform. It enables users to experience brilliant videos for binge-watching, portable high-fidelity sound, and high-resolution photo and video capture.
Windows 10
Users can count on the familiarity of the complete Windows 10 experience, maximizing productivity, entertainment and security. The Snapdragon 850 mobile compute platform supports Trustzone advanced hardware security and Hypervisor security, enhanced Cortana and other voice assistants, and OneDrive cloud storage.
