Qualcomm has launched its Snapdragon 820 system-on-chip (SoC), company’s latest addition to the 800-series of chipsets. Both of them come with their own sets of features and enhancements on board, which should make up devices coming next year perform quite well indeed. This new CPU will sport in many improvements in different aspects like GPU, processing speed, clock speed and many more. Qualcomm says the Adreno 530 is 40 faster and consumes 40 less energy than the Adreno 430, so, if these numbers are genuine, you can expect to see significant power savings.
The new Snapdragon 820 supports LTE Category 12 download speeds of up to 600Mbps, and LTE Category 13 uplink speeds of up to 150Mbps.

Additionally, the chip offers ARM’s latest GPU, Mali-T880 to provide a “graphic-intensive” interface well suited to 3D gaming and virtual reality experiences. Instead, Samsung will likely keep using cheaper Snapdragon SoCs in cheaper devices like the Galaxy J series. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
Exynos 8890 features the famous Big.LITTLE arrangement with a high power quad-core in-house Mangoose 64-bit ARMv8 while having four Cortex-A53 cores for much simpler tasks.
