Ok I got some pricing for the tiers: - 7c: < $400 including modem (1H/20) - 8c: $400-800 including modem (1H/20) - 8cx: >$800 including modem (now) Of course, your mileage will vary by RAM, storage, display, ID, materials, battery size. #SnapdragonSummit https://twitter.com/...

The biggest everyday use case advancement, IMO, you'll find in Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 is going to be in the camera. Qualcomm completely rearchitectured its Spectra ISP to be WAY faster and WAY more efficient. Also it can shoot 8K video. https://www.androidpolice.com/ ...
