Qualcomm's latest processor `` Snapdragon 765 '' is a processor integrated with a modem for 5G communication that is expected to spread around the world in 2020, and it is a chipset that can enable 5G communication alone . The top model of this Snapdragon 765 is `` Snapdragon 865 '', but this does not have a 5G communication modem integrated, it is necessary to install a separate 5G modem chip on the terminal to enable 5G communication there is. Therefore, compared to Snapdragon 765, which is integrated with 5G modem at the chipset level, 5G support has the disadvantage that it costs more and power consumption also increases, The Verge of overseas technology media points out .
