Snapdragon X50 hits 4.51 Gbps
 

Triples the speed from last demo

Snapdragon X24 is a huge step forward getting the connection on your phone up to 2 Gbps, but 5G will be faster. Qualcomm has just announced that an X50 modem can get you to 4.51 Gbps speeds and probably faster by the launch day.

Qualcomm will use multi Gigabit transitions together with mmWave spectrum and it managed to demonstrate that live at its headquarters in San Diego, over the air. The fact that Qualcomm showcased 1.24 Gbps speed in October at the company’s 4G – 5G summit in Hong Kong and as soon as four months later it managed to demonstrate the same modem with 4.51 Gbps speed. We saw a live demo reaching up to 4.04 Gbps, which is quite good since the 4.51 Gbps is the best case scenario lab speed today.
