Watch the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855's best new features in action

Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 855 mobile processor offers a ton of new features that could be potentially enabled on next-generation smartphones--almost too many to list. But we managed to see some of the best in action. After Qualcomm finished announcing the Snapdragon 855, the company opened a pair of demo rooms showing some of the 855's flagship features. Through PCWorld's video team didn't make it to the event, I was able to record video demonstrating some of the new capabilities of the mobile chip, including improved battery life and gaming performance, intelligent audio filtering, and 4K recording with HDR. They all ran on prototype phones with the Snapdragon 855 chip inside. Unfortunately, what we didn't get to see included object identification and replacement, one of the features that taps into the computational aspect of the Snapdragon 855's Spectra image signal process (ISP).
