Qualcomm Snapdragon 690: the first mid-range SoC of the 6 series compatible with 5G

While Xiaomi plans to lower the price of lenses and other camera components, most likely to introduce a competitively priced product, the price of the Snapdragon 875 has not yet been finalized. But even if the agreements between Xiaomi, Qualcomm and the phone manufacturers are respected, the price of the Snapdragon 875 will not drop significantly. The integrated 5G modem Snapdragon X60 5G, which should offer significant speeds , does not seem to have reduced the prix of the next Qualcomm processor .

2020 smartphones more competitive?

If the rumor is true, the price of the Snapdragon 875 will only increase the price of high-end Android phones by 2021 significantly. This may have the effect of making the 2020 smartphone range more attractive due to price reductions which will be applied when new models are launched.
