✅ Positive Aspects

1. Enhanced Flagship Performance

The Snapdragon 855 Plus improves upon the base 855 with a higher clocked Prime core at 2.96 GHz and boosted GPU frequencies, resulting in stronger single-threaded and graphical performance for gaming and heavy applications.

2. Strong Multimedia & Display Capabilities

With support for 8K video playback, 4K video capture at 120FPS, and 4K+ display resolutions, the chipset offers excellent media capabilities for high-end phones.

3. Modern Connectivity Suite

Although an earlier flagship, the Snapdragon 855 Plus includes integrated 4G LTE and supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, providing versatile connectivity.

❌ Negative Aspects

1. No Built-in 5G Modem

The Snapdragon 855 Plus does not include a native 5G modem, requiring separate 5G modem chips if 5G support is needed.

2. Older Process Node

Based on a 7 nm process and older Cortex-A76 architecture, it is less power-efficient and offers lower AI performance compared to newer SoCs with advanced CPU and NPU designs.

Device information for this processor will be available soon. We are working on collecting data about smartphones and tablets that use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus.
