Title: Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X60 5G modem has an audience of one: Apple Post by: HCK on February 19, 2020, 04:05:12 pm Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X60 5G modem has an audience of one: Apple
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Qualcomm’s latest 5G modem isn’t the leap that the X55 was last year, but it might be more important. While the Snapdragon X60 5G Modem-RF System touts a slew of technical and practical enhancements to take full advantage of the next-generation networks’ tremendous speeds, Qualcomm’s new modem isn’t built for phones like the Samsung Galaxy S20 that are already on board with 5G, it’s made for the one that isn’t: the iPhone.</p><p>Let’s get the technical stuff out of the way first. The X60 is the first “to support spectrum aggregation across all key 5G bands and combinations.” That means X60 phones will be more futureproof than today’s X55 ones, supporting mmWave and sub-6 using frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) at a wider range of deployment. Plus, it can deliver up to 7.5Gbps download speeds and 3Gbps upload speeds, far greater than even the theoretical capabilities of the current 5G networks being built.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3527277/qualcomm-x60-5g-modem-apple-iphone.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X60 5G modem has an audience of one: Apple (https://www.macworld.com/article/3527277/qualcomm-x60-5g-modem-apple-iphone.html#tk.rss_all) |
