Android smartphone processors come in all shapes and sizes, with everyone from Qualcomm and MediaTek providing SoCs to Samsung and Huawei over the past fifteen years. At that time we even saw big players like Texas Instruments (TI), NVIDIA and ST-Ericsson making their own chips.
We've seen some of the worst performances in Android history, but what about the other side? That's our opinion on the best Android processors of all time.
1.OnePlus X powered by Snapdragon 800 and 801
Snapdragon 801 one of the best processors OnePlus X
2013 marks the turbulent time in the world of Android processors. NVIDIA has cut its smartphone SoC investment, Texas Instruments is slowing its mobile business, and ST-Ericsson's NovaThor processor is almost completely dead. Qualcomm is the biggest beneficiary here, maintaining its lead in Android chipsets. But if you think that the company will stand on its laurels, you are wrong. The
Snapdragon 800 entered the smartphone market in 2013 and replaced the flagship Snapdragon 600 processor used in many flagships earlier that year.
While the Snapdragon 600 is a minor upgrade from its predecessor, the Snapdragon S4 Pro, the Snapdragon 800 features a new CPU and Adreno 330 GPU that is said to be more than twice as fast as its predecessor (sharing the same GPU). The
Snapdragon 800 and 801 power some of Android's flagship smartphones.
The company will announce the Snapdragon 801 in early 2014, but it's an upgrade with more CPU and GPU clock speeds and faster ISP. But whatever you choose, you'll have the power of silicon with more features. The
Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 801 powered some of the most iconic smartphones in history in 2013 and 2014.
Between the LG G3, OnePlus One, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z series, it has produced some great phones this time around. Qualcomm certainly has a role to play in this.
2. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + on keyboard shows the phone screen.
We said a while ago that this would be the best Exynos chipset ever made, and today we stand by that view.
In fact, we even call it one of the best Android processors ever made. Released in 2015, the 14nm Exynos 7420 is Samsung's second 64-bit flagship chipset to compete with the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. But unlike Qualcomm, Samsung offers a processor with low heat dissipation. The result is that Samsung chose to use only the Exynos 7420 in that year's Galaxy S6 lineup.
Samsung's chipset is pretty good for its time with its 14nm design, octa-core CPU (four Cortex-A57 and four Cortex-A53) and Mali-T760 GPU.
Until then, the combination of the processor and Samsung's lean software was arguably the best experience for the Mainline Galaxy flagship. The use of the
Exynos 7420 also means that the bad news that Samsung skipped is related to the overheating of the Snapdragon 810, as other OEMs like HTCAND LG are stuck with the hot Snapdragon 810 or less powerful Snapdragon 808 chipsets.
3. Snapdragon 625
Moto Z Play Droid back view,
One of our A list name processors Snapdragon 625, also the system in
is the best on Android one of the systems. A-list and that's why. 2016's Snapdragon 625 may not have flagship power, but it has become the chipset of choice for OEMs who want good battery life and performance.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipsets offer excellent performance and battery life, especially thanks to its tiny 14nm design and power-hungry octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU layout. Snapdragon 625 phones like the Moto Z Play and Redmi Note 4 are known for providing two days of battery life without the need for a large battery.
Unfortunately chipsets have a bit of a problem with horsepower. There are no large CPU cores here and the GPU isn't great, but the routine is pretty good for that time.
Xiaomi uses the Snapdragon 625 in a ton of phones, and some even think it's been in the SoC too long.
But it seems that the manufacturer has been using the processor for a long time. Actually, Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 450 in 2017, which is actually the Snapdragon 625, but at a cheaper price. Snapdragon 450 is found on devices like Samsung Galaxy A11, Galaxy A20s and Redmi 5.
4. HiSilicon Kirin 970
Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro.
Huawei's chip manufacturing business grew rapidly in the 2010s, catching up with rivals Qualcomm and Samsung in the mid-2010s. The company finally launched its CPU competition in 2016 and caught on in the GPU space in early 2017.
The release of the Kirin 970 at the end of 2017 showed that Huawei is willing to fight the competition. The chip features the industry's first Neural Processing Unit (NPU), a silicon chip dedicated to machine learning.
Chinese smartphone company announced the use of features such as scene/image recognition, offline translation, better control and noise reduction for better images.
Most of these support functions do not require the use of machine learning chips, but the business needs the capabilities of the new equipment.
Huawei beat Apple and other players in AI chips.
Apple announced its own machine learning chip weeks after the Kirin 970 and A11 Bionic, while rival chips from Qualcomm and Samsung followed in the next year. Businesses today rely more than ever on AI chips for real-time voice recognition, product removal, security authentication and more. But Huawei is the first to offer such devices.
5. MediaTek Helio G90T
Redmi Note 8 Pro Review MediaTek Helio G90T back glass is one of the best Android processors to 44.but 2017's The new Helio X30 concept spent most of Microsoft 2019 focusing on the budget and mid-range segment rather than professional SoCs. But the launch of the Helio G90T in mid-2019 shows that Qualcomm is not a premium third-party chip manufacturer.
The Helio G90T is pretty powerful for its time - MediaTek has even launched it as a gaming-focused chipset. In this eight-core configuration, you have two Cortex-A76 and six Cortex-A55 cores and a nice Mali-G76 MP4 GPU.
Graphics appeared on competing flagship chipsets at the time, although there were many graphics cores.
Still, MediaTek's focus on gaming remains. We see Redmi Note 8 Pro with G90T beating Mi 9T with Snapdragon 730 in 2019. This is no easy feat, as the Snapdragon 730 powers more expensive mid-range and high-end phones. MediaTek later introduced a slightly updated SoC called Helio G95 which is used in phones like realme 7 and Redmi Note 10S.
Can play PUBG on previous devices with all settings turned on.
In conclusion: The announcement of the G90T shows that the good game is not only the name of Qualcomm's flagship chips, but also in budget phones.
6. Snapdragon 660
Xiaomi A2 white and black phones showing the main screen side by side 2014 Snapdragon 660 , Qualcomm it also offers chips that share some DNA with this design (like the Snapdragon 662 and Snapdragon 460). The processor was another big step forward for the mid-range segment, coming a year after the Snapdragon 625.
The 14nm Snapdragon 660 tops our list of best Android processors because it packs a powerful octa-core CPU with four heavy-duty Cortex-A73 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores, beating the Snapdragon 625's CPU with a punch. In fact, we still rarely see four-point performance on the average system today. It's worth noting that this isn't the first mid-range Snapdragon chipset with high-performance cores, but has seen wider use than previous attempts.
In some ways, the Snapdragon 660 is the cousin of the Snapdragon 835. Alongside the similar octa-core CPU layout, you also get Hexagon DSP for the first time in the series, along with features like Qualcomm Quick Charge4, Bluetooth 5 and 4K/30fps shooting.
It's no surprise that it powers big phones like the Nokia 7 Plus, Redmi Note 7, and Mi A2.
7. Snapdragon 855
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus screen with Snapdragon 855, one of the best phone processor 4494' 2 Snapdragon 855 It is Qualcomm's last major 4G flagship chipset and could be the end of its 4G flagship SoC efforts. More specifically, it has an integrated LTE Cat 20 modem with downlink speeds of up to 2Gbps. The
7nm Snapdragon 855 features many other company firsts, such as the now standard three-group CPU arrangement (high performance, medium, high performance), Hexagon Tensor accelerator chip for advanced machine learning, Wi-Fi6 support. Support for external 5G modems.
Qualcomm's 2019 flagship SoC also features a powerful Adreno 640 GPU, 200MP single camera support, Bluetooth 5.1, 4K HDR video recording, and Quick Charge 4 Plus. All this makes for one of the most powerful and efficient Android processors ever released. The performance and process of the
Snapdragon 855 is so good that the model survives today as the Snapdragon 860. The 860 power of the POCO X3 Pro and Mi Pad 5 is essentially the Snapdragon 855 Plus with a faster clock as early as 2022.
8. Snapdragon 765G
Google Pixel 5 gray, phone back and Google logo
The time started with 5G flagship phones in 2019, but thanks to the Snapdragon 765G, we can say that the real start of the 5G era is in 2020. Qualcomm's first mid-range 5G processor helped make 5G more mainstream with support for sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, making it into many affordable phones that year. More on
With Qualcomm's mid-range chip, two Cortex-A76 cores, and six A's, it's far from flagship SoCs, but still good enough for day-to-day work. It has a core CPU. The chip also has additional features such as 4K/60fps support, 7nm design, Wi-Fi 6, 192MP camera support and Quick Charge 4 Plus functionality.
In other words, the processor is not a one-number pony.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G really helps speed up 5G on the cheap. The Snapdragon 765G isn't perfect because the GPU is still worse than the old flagship chip. It can still run many games at frame rates, but it's not ideal for high performance. But the fact that LG Velvet and Google Pixel 5 use this SoC shows the confidence of big companies in its capabilities.
