Qualcomm used its press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to focus on their brand new chip, the Snapdragon 820.

The Snapdragon 820 from Qualcomm is expected to be installed in most of the high-end Android smartphones this year, Android Central reports.

Qualcomm's CEO Steve Mollenkopf called the Snapdragon 820 the "the most powerful, most advanced SoC (system on chip) in the world." Mollenkopf said that the new chip is being designed for use in 80 products.

Mollenkopf also revealed the first smartphone to use the Snapdragon 820 will come from the Chinese company LeTV, which will fit it to their LeMax Pro smartphone.

The LeMax Pro was shown off at CES with a metal unibody design and fingerprint sensor on the rear. The fingerprint sensor on this smartphone will utilize the Snapdragon Sense ID technology. Mollenkopf called the Sense ID "the first ultrasonic fingerprint sensor."

Other smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 are also expected to use the Snapdragon 820 when they are released this year.

Also announced at the Qualcomm CES press conference was more news on automotive technology.

Qualcomm has variations of the Snapdragon 820 for the automotive industry in the Snapdragon 820A and Snapdragon 820Am. Mollenkopf said these chips offer similar performance to the traditional Snapdragon 820, but are optimized for car software and applications.

Qualcomm demonstrated a vehicle with the Snapdragon 820A and a total of four displays. The main screen showed off an animated speedometer and 3D navigation. The infotainment screen allowed for map markers to be placed on the navigation screen. Even the passengers get their own screen in the back seat.

Qualcomm boasted that the Snapdragon 820A can display multiple screens at the same time and how the car can be customized based on the person's smartphone that is connected to the system.
