The company's ' Qualcomm QTM545 ' is built in as a millimeter-wave antenna module, and it supports all 5G new radio frequency bands including the newly added 41 GHz band . In addition, the world's first AI antenna tuning technology 'AI-Enhanced Signal Boost' is installed, which automatically detects how the user holds the device using AI, stabilizes the transfer speed at high speed, expands the communication range, and improves battery life. doing.

In addition, the X65 supports

3GPP Release 16 , which is an advanced technology specification of 5G, and expands the upload speed and reception range of the new power saving technology 'Qualcomm 5G PowerSave 2.0' and millimeter wave band and Sub 6GHz band. It also has the latest features such as 'Qualcomm Smart Transmit 2.0'.

Qualcomm also announced the 'Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF System,' a middle-range model of the X65. The maximum communication speed of the X62 is only 4.6 Gbps, but it is the same as the X65 in that it has support for 3GPP Release 16 and Qualcomm QTM545, AI-Enhanced Signal Boost, Qualcomm 5G PowerSave 2.0, and Qualcomm Smart Transmit 2.0.

Samples of the X65 and X62 have already started shipping, and devices equipped with the modem are expected to appear in 2021.
