The new 5G chipset is equipped with the 3rd generation Snapdragon X60 5G Modem-RF system which offers mmWave and sub-6 on all major bands. It also includes Snapdragon Elite Gaming, which reportedly supports up to 144 frames per second (fps). Qualcomm also said that the Snapdragon 888 is capable of capturing photos and videos at 2.7 gigapixels per second, or around 120 photos at 12-megapixel resolution. It’s 35% faster than the previous generation.
