In 2017, there are a lot of new smartphones, currently, the best CPU for flagships is Snapdragon 835 SoC, right now we will talk about those mid-range chipsets, they are Snapdragon 625, Snapdragon 626, Snapdragon 630 and Snapdragon 660. Let’s see their difference.
First, this four CPU all use 14nm process with nice power efficiency. In GPU, it is obvious that Snapdragon 660>Snapdragon 630>Snapdragon 626=Snapdragon 625.
According to data, the difference between Snapdragon 626 and Snapdragon 625 is in the frequency of CPU, the SD626 has 2.2GHz frequency, and SD626 is the simple version of SD625, under the same specs, Snapdragon 626 smartphones are more expensive than that of SD625 smartphones, so we recommend buying Snapdragon 625 smartphones directly. Because they have very little difference that we really can’t feel.
The other difference is that Snapdragon 626 and 625 don’t support new generation DDR4 and UFS ROM, namely, if you purchase new generation ROM and RAM, there is no need to consider this two processor.
Snapdragon 630 and SD660 both supports DDR4 and UFS, and both support quick charge 4, whose charging speed is 20% higher than QC 3.0, Snapdragon 626 and Snapdragon 625 both use QC 3.0, so Snapdragon 630 and Snapdragon 660 are the major chipsets in 2017 mid-range smartphones, especially Snapdragon 660 adopts advanced Kyro bit, and adopts Adreno 512 GPU.
When we choose phones, when we learn more about specs, just avoid price track, under same specs, Snapdragon 626 CPU smartphones are more expensive that that of phones with SD625, we can choose SD625 smartphones directly. Under same price between Snapdragon 630 and Snapdragon 626 smartphones, compare the RAM and ROM, make a better choice.
