At the recent 4G/5G Summit Qualcomm announced the launch of three new Snapdragon chipsets
At the 4G/5G summit, Qualcomm unveiled new three processors for mid-range devices, namely the Snapdragon 653, 626 and 427. These new parts are upgrades from the currently available Snapdragon 652, the 625 and the 425 respectively.
All three processors are powered by an X9 LTE chip with an integrated CAT 7 modem. Furthermore, they support the company's new Quick Charge 3.0 technology that promises power delivery that will enable mobile devices to charge up to four times quicker. These new chipsets include enhanced voice services that will offer Ultra HD VoLTE calls on networks that also support it.
Along with dual camera support that has been picked up from Qualcomm's 800 line of SoCs, each processor brings upgrades from their predecessors: the Snapdragon 653 processor is claimed to offer 10 percent higher performance compared to the 652 thanks to a CPU speed bump up to 1.95GHz. The RAM support has been doubled to 8GB in an effort to improve multitasking and overall system performance phones from manufacturers that choose to add in such large amounts of memory.
The Snapdragon 626 processor will have CPU speeds of reaching 2.2GHz–as much as a 10 percent performance improvement over the 625. It also implements Qualcomm's TruSignal antenna boost, a technology that aims to enhance signal reception, especially in congested cellular areas.
Lastly, the Snapdragon 427 will be the first processor in the Snapdragon 400 family to offer this TruSignal antenna tuning. It will also feature 802.11ac Wi-Fi support with MU-MIMO, a 64-bit CPU containing the Cortex A53, and support for a 16MP dual image signal processor.
The Snapdragon 653 and 626 processors are expected to be commercially available by the end of the year while the Snapdragon 427 processor is expected to be in commercial devices by early 2017.
