Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 is the top-notch chipset to date. It is expected to debut on many high-end smartphones in 2015 on CES and MWC. It will offer an octa-core 64-bit processor, new Adreno 430 GPU and brand new Qualcomm modem.
We head that the LTE will support Cat 6 which speeds 300 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink. The LTE race has been significantly forward since. And we also knew that Samsung is already rumored to utilize an LTE Cat 10-enabled Exynos chipset for the Galaxy S6. LTE Cat 9 can support to get 450 Mbps download and up to 50 Mbps upload. The alleged Exynos 6 Samsung chipset with Cat 10 will stay the same with downlink, but the uplink is doubled at up to 100 Mbps.
Category 9 Carrier Aggregation allows EE to aggregate 20MHz of 1800MHz spectrum with another 20MHz of 2.6GHz, and a third carrier of 15MHz of 2.6GHz.
“Transitioning from Category 6 to Category 9 LTE-A connectivity will mean 1.5x faster peak download speeds, swift application response times, reliable connectivity and connections to the fastest networks.” said Enrico Salvatori, senior vice president and president of Qualcomm Europe.
With the supporting of Huawei and the EE network, this test is carrying out in the UK. It means that EE will be one of the first corp to upgrade its network with the modernist LTE tech.
Qualcomm said surely it will be adding LTE Cat 9 capable modem for the Snapdragon 810 chipset. And it will apparently used in most of Qualcomm flagships in 2015.
