Coming soon to an Android flagship near you Qualcomm's latest flagship SoC is now official and on the sidelines of the recent launch event, we had a chance to test out the Snapdragon 865 in action. We compare the Snapdragon 865 in Qualcomm's reference device with the Snapdragon 855, 855+, Apple A13 Bionic, and the Kirin 990 to see the kind of performance improvements one can expect when new Android flagships launch next year.
