In addition to these monumental changes, the chip aims to deliver up to 40 percent lower latency along with some powerful 37 percent more efficiency, compared to its competing products. 

The Qualcomm AqsticTM audio codec enables wideband voice calls with uninterrupted sound delivery, even in a high-resolution music streaming of up to 96kHz. 

The new chip also includes an octa-core Kryo CPU that comprises two performance-core, which supports up to 2GHz clock speed. And, six efficiency cores for up to 1.8GHz.

Qualcomm has also claimed that with this new device, users can expect a powerful battery that is capable of lasting all day. And, its Quick ChargeTM 4+ Technology can power the whole device’s battery in just half an hour.
