This means nearly every flagship Android phone will be a 5G phone in 2020, and putting the 5G and 4G on a giant extra chip means smartphones are going to use way more power, no matter which cell network you're connected to. When 5G networks are only going to be in their infancy in 2020, this sounds like an across-the-board downgrade to me...
...A bad flagship chip from Qualcomm doesn't leave a lot of other options for high-end smartphones in 2020. The one ray of hope for 5G phones is the
Snapdragon 765G, which was also introduced last week. This is Qualcomm's first-ever chip with a 5G modem integrated into the SoC, and it should do plenty for 5G's battery consumption.
