• Qualcomm has announced the X85 modem, which is expected to power next-generation flagship Android devices.
• The new modem offers peak downlink and uplink speeds of 12.5Gbps and 3.7Gbps respectively.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chip offers some impressive connectivity features, and that’s in large part due to the Snapdragon X80 modem. Now, the company has announced a new modem, which is expected to power next-generation flagship Android phones.

The newly announced Qualcomm X85 modem is an iterative change compared to the Snapdragon X80. Expect a small but notable speed boost compared to the previous part, with 12.5Gbps downlink speeds and 3.7Gbps uplink speeds. However, Qualcomm says the latter is a first for the smartphone industry.
