Qualcomm has unveiled the X65, what it says is the “world’s first” 10-gigabit 5G modem. Engadget reports: While that’s not hugely faster than the 7.5Gbps of the X60, it promises a speed that was previously reserved for Ethernet and other wired connections. The X65 also boasts some helpful functional improvements, including AI-based antenna tuning that better responds to hand grips. You’ll also find better power-saving measures and a newer “Smart Transmit” system that boots upload speeds and overall coverage. The X65 is currently sampling to customers and should reach shipping devices in 2021, although Qualcomm didn’t name customers. Don’t count on it reaching many phones, at least not at first. […] While it will support “premium smartphone experiences,” you’re more likely to see it used in laptops, fixed 5G broadband or similar areas where a separate modem isn’t an issue.
