All day battery life and easier, faster charging
Snapdragon 820 lowers power consumption by 30% over previous generation plus charge a typical phone from zero to 80 percent in about 35 minutes, with Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 3.0 technology.
See here for the full spec list. We should see the Snapdragon 820 in Windows 10 Mobile devices from mid-2016 onwards.
In addition to the 820, Qualcomm also showed off a wireless dock, providing among other things, a 'desktop-like' mirroring of up to 4K content on a local monitor. While this isn't even close to what Continuum does on Windows 10, it's an interesting launch nevertheless and shows that Microsoft is moving in the right direction.
