The Chinese benchmarking platform said that Qualcomm broke the conventional upgrade plan in 2019 and launched the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor in the second half of the year, which became the standard for flagship mobile phones. Huawei also released two SOCs, Kirin 990 and Kirin 990 5G.
The devices on the list are all mobile phones equipped with three processors: Snapdragon 855 Plus, Snapdragon 855, and Kirin 990 5G.
