And if we’re not assuming wrong, the Snapdragon 855 will the first Smartphone SOC to have this technology with more supported SOCs coming later in 2020.
5G is also a huge deal when it comes to technology innovation, speed & features improvements on board. It deals with faster Download Speeds & a always Connected Experience while being cheaper than 4G LTE.
So, 5G will arrive in 2019 with the testing starting in Mid 2017. So, if you’re planning to pick a Snapdragon 855 powered smartphone in 2019 then your phone will probably be 5G compatible.
