8.8
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon X105 modem, expected to pair with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and rated Release 19-capable, introducing NR-NTN satellite 5G and NB-IoT failover for messaging. The X105 promises peak downlink speeds up to 14.8Gbps (13.2Gbps on sub-6GHz), 4.2Gbps uplink, agentic AI connectivity features, a 6nm RF transceiver with 30% lower transceiver power, and quad-frequency GNSS with up to 25% power savings.
Key Points
- 1Introduces NR‑NTN satellite 5G and Release 19 capability, enabling off‑grid data, voice, and video
- 2Offers higher peak throughput—14.8Gbps downlink and 4.2Gbps uplink—surpassing the prior X85 modem
- 3Provides APIs and agentic AI for predictive connectivity, useful for chat apps and battery optimization
Scoring Rationale
Strong novelty and industry impact from Release‑19 satellite support; limited timeline and consumer availability reduce immediate uptake.
