Titanium M6 5G To Be World's First Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC-Powered Smartphone

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 or 855 Plus have been the go-to chipsets for the premium Android smartphone makers in 2019. This is likely to change soon as a luxury smartphone and smartwatch maker 8848 has officially confirmed the launch of the Titanium M6 5G -- the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC-based smartphone.

It's A 5G Phone

As the name suggests, the Titanium M6 5G will be a 5G capable smartphone. The Snapdragon 865 SoC is likely to go live by the end of 2019 and we can expect this device to hit the market by early 2020 along with other smartphones from brands like Samsung, LG, and Xiaomi.

As per the specifications, the Titanium M6 5G will flaunt a 6.01-inch AMOLED screen. The chipset will be clubbed with up to 12GB RAM and 1TB of onboard storage. The phone might not disappoint the camera enthusiasts as well as it said to carry a 64MP physical sensor that can capture 100MP photos using software assistance.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC was recently spotted on Geekbench benchmark suggesting a boost in both single-core and multi-core CPU performance compared to its predecessor.

Though we do not have much information on the technical aspect of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 SoC, it is likely to be the first chipset based on a 5nm manufacturing process offering higher battery efficiency and better performance.

The chipset is also expected to launch in a couple of variations where a base model with 4G LTE networking and a high-end variant with 5G standalone model that will be featured on the Titanium M6 5G.

The Titanium M6 5G will definitely be an expensive smartphone and one might have to shell out at least $1,000. The device will go on sale and it might not launch in India as the company does not have its presence in the Indian market yet.
