True to rumors, Qualcomm announced its mid-year chip upgrade with the Snapdragon 865 Plus. The new chip brings forth a higher clock speed at 3.1GHz frequency. Close to the announcement of the chipset, we also got confirmation from Asus that its upcoming ROG 3 is going to be the first phone to run on the 865+. Not just that, even the Lenovo Legion is said to feature the same.
Needless to say, we will be seeing a lot of summer and fall releases bearing the 865 Plus. So, let’s see what new and improved it has to offer over the predecessor.

Snapdragon 865 Plus: What’s new?
The major difference is in the CPU and GPU front with a promised 10% performance improvement. Notably, the Snapdragon 865+ happens to be the first chip to cross the 3GHz frequency threshold. This falls in line with what ARM has been claiming ever since its Cortex A75 announcement.
Further, the power consumption is said to be parallel with the higher clock speed. Ergo, the energy efficiency and overall battery life are likely to stick close to that of Snapdragon 865.
