Qualcomm: Android phones to get Snapdragon 888 chip

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55150532

The Snapdragon 888 is Qualcomm's first chip to be made using a five nanometre process. This is a reference to the fact its transistors are smaller than before and can therefore be packed more densely together to offer performance gains.
"Snapdragon 888 will... transform smartphones into professional cameras," said Qualcomm in a press release.
"[The chip can capture] roughly 120 photos at 12 megapixels resolution - up to 35% faster than the previous generation."
Another advance is that the 5G modem is now built into the chip rather than being a separate component, as was the case last time round.
Qualcomm said the chip's "AI engine" had also been completely re-engineered.

Such improvements would let you take photos quite fast, improve autofocus in video and photography, make augmented reality features perform better than usual and automatically adjusting audio levels depending on your environment.
Sadly, you'll still need to wait till March 2021 to find any device abusing of its curious features.
