05:01PM EST - The 835 is the first shipping chip based on the 10nm node from Samsung. So it's the first shrink of FinFET
05:01PM EST - Better power, better area, and an overall smaller chip. 35% smaller chip package altogether
05:03PM EST - Battery life: Qualcomm says they achieve about 25% lower power than the 820
05:03PM EST - This generation also launches Quick Charge 4
05:04PM EST - Immersion: 835 includes an updated Adreno 500 series GPU, the 540
05:04PM EST - 25% faster graphics performance
05:05PM EST - 3D audio support has also been added
05:05PM EST - Qualcomm has also put in some VR optimizations, including reducing motion-to-photon latency
05:06PM EST - Capture: Updated ISP that supports recent trends such as dual (wide-angle + telephoto) cameras
05:07PM EST - Connectivity: X16 LTE modem, 802.11ad, and 2x2 802.11ac with MU-MIMO support
05:08PM EST - Security: Support for multiple forms of security, including fingerprint, voice print, and iris/facial recognition
05:08PM EST - A big initiative for Qualcomm this year is machine learning
05:09PM EST - Leveraging a mix of the CPU, the GPU, and the Hexagon DSP depending on the task
05:09PM EST - 835 is in production now, and Qualcomm expects similar or better success compared to the 820/821
