    Is it available in United kingdom because I want to purchase it for my friend and he is living in London but I am in America. Actually I am doing business you can see my web https://iwillbling.com/ here and I am quite busy now a days in my work but if this product is available in the UK so I will buy online and also deliver at friend's home.

    No doubt the "8c" and "7c" are lightly modified 855 and 710 derivatives. Would prefer it if they just called it that but rolled out a feature opening the bootloader on Android devices...

    Actually, given their naming for the CPU and GPU (Kryo 490, Adreno 675) and their performance of 6+ TOPS, this is more likely to be a die harvested 8cx with some GPU and DSP units disabled.

    "03:34PM EST - Encouraging people to go outside
    03:34PM EST - (I thought the benefit of 5G is that you *don't* need to be there)"

    Qualcomm actually mean that people are "encouraged" to go outside because 5G (at least its mmWave variant) does not work at all inside. Unless of course you have installed a few 5G femto/nanocells in your home of business, which are not cheap. 5G's <6GHz variant, which is just slightly souped up LTE rather than true 5G, should work inside, though barely (depending on how close the working frequency is to 6 GHz).

    Not that I foresee any extensive mmWave coverage of 5G any time soon. Conventional cell towers are nowhere nearly enough to cover an entire city (there's no chance in hell of rural coverage, neither today nor ever), so many smaller cells are required to be installed at high density. That, again, requires a lot of money. When 5G was being developed and I heard about the insane frequencies it would employ I strongly doubted the laws of physics would just kill themselves so that telcos can cover cities at a reasonable cost. And guess what, the laws of physics are still in the way..

    Qualcomm did it again! Now the US have a strange cellulor bandwith again that is different from the rest of the world and that may keep Qualcomm on the monopoly!

    "Isn't that just, reality?" -- it's like reality, only worse, and you pay them for it.
    Like Better Than Life, the truth rarely matches up to the marketing.

    Why no 8cx successor?
  • GreyFox7 - Friday, December 6, 2019 - link

    So... What's new with the 8CX? It seems like nothing, they just paired it with a 5G modem. Where's the beef??? The increased IPC, lower power, faster this or more that? 9CX or 8CXX, where are they going with this.

    Don't you think it would be better if you summarize and write an article based on the notes?
    This way there is just bunch of vomited sentences that sometime don't make sense.
    I mean thanks for the coverage but something like 865 preview article would be great.

    Some people like it that way, just quick bullet points as it happens. I personally don't, but I can see why it would appeal to some.

    What is a VC compile time on a laptop like that? Who cares if it uses half the power if compile times are twice as long? Or more likely cannot be done at all...

    The automotive industry is booming and I hope they switch to electric cars faster. https://www.mototechindia.com/ The faster we move toward electric vehicles it will be better for us as well as our environment. Clean and green energy is the way to grow without harming the nature
