OnePlus 5 is NOT The First Phone in India With Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC

OnePlus revealed its plans to be the first
company to bring a Qualcomm Snapdragon
835 processor in India with its upcoming
flagship smartphone, OnePlus 5. Both
OnePlus and Qualcomm confirmed the
news through tweets on May 25.



Though
OnePlus had everything going well for them
regarding these claims, one company beat
them to it and released the first
smartphone with Snapdragon 835
processor in India.


In an event last week, Sony launched its
flagship smartphone, the Sony Xperia XZ
Premium. The Rs 59,990 smartphone came
as a surprise to most as the first phone to
be powered by Snapdragon 835 processor
in India.



Apart from the firepower in the
processor, Sony boasts of other technology
loaded features included in the phone.



Primarily, these features are focused on
delivering an enhanced display, camera
quality and Gigabyte class connectivity.



The smartphone houses a 5.5-inch 4K HDR
display which presents a crisp and dynamic
picture quality with optimum colours and
balance.



The technology is said to have
trickled down from Sony’s ‘Bravia’ range of
Televisions.

Specifications of the XZ Premium include a
4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage which
is expandable up to 256GB using an
external memory card. The phone offers
out-of-the-box Android Nougat 7.0 support
and is powered by a 3,230 mAh battery,
supporting Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0,
Smart stamina and Qnovo adaptive
charging.



Sony makes big claims about its 19-
megapixel Motion Eye camera that is said to
come with features like Super-slow motion
recording at 960 fps, Predictive Image
Capturing, Anti-distortion shutter and more.



It incorporates Sony’s trademark Exmor RS
sensor and the ‘Motion Eye’ technology is
said to capture movements that a normal
Human eye cannot detect.



Sony says that the camera has been stacked
with a memory sensor as well that prevents
the delay of information transfer between
the Camera sensor and the Snapdragon 835
processor of the phone. On the front, it
houses a 13-megapixel camera, again with
the Exmor RS sensor and a 22mm wide-
angle lens.



The Sony Xperia XZ Premium also supports
Gigabit-Class LTE connectivity, thanks to the
X16 LTE modem technology housed in the
Snapdragon 835 processor. This means
fibre optic speed connectivity on the go for
the smartphone users.



All in all, while OnePlus 5 claimed to be the
first to the race, Sony emerged as the silent
contender and beat OnePlus to release the
first smartphone in India with Snapdragon
835 processor. With more such
smartphones being powered by the latest
technologies, the overall smartphone
experience in India is sure to become
better on many fronts.
