This first-of-its-kind Android smartphone has just taken everyone by surprise

For the nightly Netflix binge, there’s a 6.78-inch AMOLED display that can reach 800 nits for better outdoor viewing and is fully HDR10 and HDR10+ certified.

Qualcomm says they are launching this phone, which has been built with help from ASUS, “for Snapdragon Insiders who look under the hood. Who are first in line for premium performance and innovation. For those who crave the fastest, truly global 5G connectivity available.”

Now, before you rush to register your interest, there are a few things to note about this device.

Firstly, it will set you back a whopping $1,500 which makes it more expensive than the Galaxy S21 Ultra or new Sony Xperia 1 III.

Then there’s the strange addition of the Snapdragon 888 processor which is about to be superseded by the new 888+ chip from the firm.
