Snapdragon 865 supports 144Hz displays for next-gen gaming phones

If you thought the world of 90Hz and 120Hz gaming displays was fast, you ain't seen nothin' yet -- Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 865 supports even-faster 144Hz mobile displays.

There aren't any Snapdragon 865-powered gaming smartphones out, or even announced right now as I'm sitting in the middle of the Snapdragon Summit here in Maui, Hawaii and the chip is being detailed in great detail as I tap away at my keyboard.

But one of the facts we know is that the Adreno 650 GPU is the "most efficient graphics core in the world", and will power the next generation of gaming smartphones that support everything up to the deliciously-fast 144Hz refresh rate.
