Qualcomm on Tuesday unveiled a new flagship Snapdragon 888 mobile chip that will power your next high-end smartphone. The Snapdragon 888, which was announced during the first day of Qualcomm’s annual Tech Summit, will be the company’s fastest mobile processor yet.

The San Diego, California-based chipset giant says its Snapdragon 888 5G mobile processor will offer a range of improvements over the company’s previous-generation chips, especially in the area of camera and gaming. It’s the first mobile chip from Qualcomm to use five-nanometer process technology, just like Apple’s A14 Bionic.
