Snapdragon 625, Qualcomm's Successful SoC

Trung

3 years ago

9 / 10

The first thing that impressed me about this SoC is its performance. It's as if the Exynos 7870 and Mediatek P10 SoCs have "combined". The Snapdragon 625 has a 2GHz clock speed like the MediaTek P10, but also has the energy-saving 14nm process of the Exynos 7870

Pros

• Good CPU performance
• Good GPU performance
• Energy-efficient 14nm process
• Runs cool
• Supports many technologies
• Good price

Cons

• This SoC is too good!
