What Is the Strength of Qualcomm Xiaolong 870?

Qualcomm's strength in the 5g chip field is obvious to all in the market. At the end of 2020, Qualcomm launched the first 5nm flagship 5g chip - Xiaolong 888. This performance chip has been selected by Xiaomi and iqoo. It has successively launched the corresponding new flagship phones of Xiaolong 888 series, which is fully competitive in the 5g mobile phone market.Of course, this is just the beginning of Xiaolong 888. Android mobile phone manufacturers such as oppo, vivo, realm, Meizu, black shark, ZTE, Nubia, Lenovo, ASUS, LG, Motorola, Yijia and sharp have also officially announced that they will launch the flagship model equipped with Xiaolong 888 in the first quarter of 2021. In 2021, Xiaolong 888, Android's top player, has been firmly established. After all, no matter how the market "storm" fluctuates, the strength of Xiaolong 888 is here, and the recognition of mobile phone manufacturers and consumers is the best proof.

There is no doubt that Qualcomm has made great efforts in Xiaolong 888 flagship this time. First, it has introduced the cortex-x1 super core launched by arm, which has brought significant performance upgrades; Secondly, after adding AI fusion accelerator, AI computing power soared to 26 trillion times; In addition, Xiaolong X60 5g baseband is integrated on the flagship Qualcomm 5g chip for the first time. Xiaolong 888 brings the world's fastest 5g commercial speed; Even Xiaolong 888's new breakthrough in computing photography and its important impact on the development of mobile phone imaging functions have made the tidbits of "Qualcomm is also an image technology enterprise" circulating in the market a "real hammer".

Qualcomm has always stressed that while the computing power of the chip continues to improve rapidly according to the law, the mobile phone will have more and more functions. It is necessary to integrate more functions into the chipset to improve the user experience. It enables a variety of new experiences to achieve rapid growth in one mobile phone, so users no longer need to use multiple independent terminals and integrate countless functions. Indeed, after getting Xiaomi 11 equipped with Xiaolong 888, many users intuitively feel that this is not only a mobile phone, but also a 100 million pixel professional camera, a fingerprint payment instrument, an omnipotent AI housekeeper under artificial intelligence, a powerful game console, and finally a "mobile phone" with excellent call quality!

Although Xiaolong 888 has appeared on the flagship mobile phone in 2021 and become the benchmark of the new generation 5g flagship, Qualcomm launched another high-end mobile phone chip - Xiaolong 870 before the Spring Festival. It can be seen from the naming that this is an intermediate subdivision product line from Xiaolong 865 plus to Xiaolong 888, and can also be regarded as a further upgraded version of Xiaolong 865 plus. Xiaolong 870 uses an enhanced Qualcomm kryo 585 CPU with a super kernel with a dominant frequency of up to 3.2ghz, which aims to comprehensively improve the performance and bring a better game experience.

At present, Lenovo has announced that Motorola edge s, which will debut on January 26, will launch Xiaolong 870. In addition, oppo, Yijia, iqoo and Xiaomi are also determined to launch corresponding products in the first quarter of 2021. The reason why Qualcomm launched a high-end chip such as Xiaolong 870 at this time point is that it hopes to provide a high-end option for the 5g market in addition to the Xiaolong 888 with a 5nm process, better cover all price segments, enrich the 5g mobile phone product series in the Android Market and give 5g mobile phone users more choices.

In the field of 5g chips, Qualcomm has always occupied the first position in the market share. Qualcomm's revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 shows that Qualcomm occupies the largest market share in the global 5g chip market, and 39% of all 5g mobile phones sold worldwide use Qualcomm chips. Qualcomm does not produce mobile phones, but provides its designed chips to mobile phone manufacturers. Therefore, for Qualcomm, every market share comes from the strength of partners. Seven of the world's top 10 mobile phone manufacturers are Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, and these manufacturers are Qualcomm's partners.
