Qualcomm today announced three new chipsets for entry level and mid-range smartphones – Snapdragon 720G, Snapdragon 662, and Snapdragon 460. The first one promises to bring many of the Elite Gaming features of the 765G with support for HDR, dynamic color range and high-quality synchronized sound with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive.
The SD662 will bring triple-camera support, which is a first for a Qualcomm 6-series chipset. Snapdragon 460 might be most affordable of all three, but still will be able to provide an increase in CPU and GPU performance over other 4-series chipsets.Chipset (process)Snapdragon 720G (8 nm)Snapdragon 662 (11 nm)Snapdragon 460 (11 nm)CPUOcta-core up to 2.3 GHz Kryo 465Octa-core up to 2 GHz Kryo 260Octa-core up to 1.8 GHz Kryo 240GPUAdreno 618Adreno 610Adreno 610PhotoSpectra 350L Up to 192 MP; 4K @ 30 fpsSpectra 340T Up to 48 MP; 1080p @ 60 fpsSpectra 340 Up to 48 MP; 1080p @ 60 fpsModemSnapdragon X15 LTE DL: 800 Mbps, UL: 300 MbpsSnapdragon X11 LTE DL: 390 Mbps, UL: 150 MbpsSnapdragon X11 LTE DL: 390 Mbps, UL: 150 MbpsConnectivityDual VoLTE; Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.1Dual VoLTE; Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.1Dual VoLTE; Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.1Fast chargingQuick Charge 4.0Quick Charge 3Quick Charge 3
According to Rajen Vagadia, president of Qualcomm India, the chip maker is introducing these three platforms for 4G markets where seamless connectivity access is still unraveling. Kedar Kondap from the product management team of the San Diego company confirmed the 720G, 662, and 460 will be able to provide gaming experience at a more affordable price.
Senior executives of smartphone companies such as Manu Kumar Jain at Xiaomi and Madhav Sheth at Realme confirmed they will “work closely” with Qualcomm to introduce phones with the new chips, including the most interesting of all three – Snapdragon 720G.
