Qualcomm already gave hints that its upcoming Snapdragon 835 processor would be something out of the ordinary, and it's currently ready to show all its cards now that it's at the CES event.

According to Engadget, battery life is one of the chip's strongest features, but Qualcomm has also revealed that the Snapdragon 835 also features a ton of upgrades that would reflect a rapidly changing mobile landscape.

Snapdragon 835 to feature improved VR capabilities

Take virtual reality, for instance. On top of 25% faster Adreno 540 graphics, it also improves positional audio and reduces the lag between motion tracking and what you see on-screen. You won't likely feel seasick or turn the wrong way, in simpler terms.

Photography will also be improved

Along with several features and improvements that the Snapdragon 835 will be offering, reports have also confirmed that the chip will also improve camera features. The zoom and image stabilization should be smoother thanks to both the updated graphics to go along with a newer signal processor.

You should encounter fewer issues in terms of focusing your shots, as well. The 835 will be supporting both dual photodiodes in cameras (much like the Galaxy S7) and some improvements to hybrid autofocusing systems.

Qualcomm's chip can also help combine multiple shots to improve the sharpness of the photo, along with reducing noise and adding high-dynamic range effects.

Snapdragon 835 - Less and more features

According to Newsdump, the Snapdragon should be more efficient. It's Qualcomm's very first 10-nanometer CPU, and that results in a physically smaller chip that uses 40% less power even as it runs up to 27% faster. In theory, that leads to thinner phones that will still have plenty of room for larger and powerful batteries.

With all things being said, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 will become one of the most powerful chips to arrive this year.
