Operating systems (OS)

Snapdragon 625, or more precisely smartphones powered by this processor, have become especially popular in 2017.

This song goes to the chipset itself.

Snapdragon 625 is an 8-core solution that offers decent productivity and increased energy efficiency.

It copes with most of the most intense games without problems, and does not drain the battery at all.

The chipset uses a 14nm process technology, all 8 Cortex A53 cores are represented by one cluster, the clock frequency is dynamic, and can reach 2 GHz.

A couple of stylish smartphones from another popular Chinese company, announced shortly thereafter.

We became one of the first to reject the 8-core Snapdragon 625 processor. Huawei Nova is equipped with a 5-inch FullHD screen, it can boast of remarkably compact dimensions, but the frames around the screen are wide, which is clearly after buying what you paid for kupu .

the remaining river

The older model had a larger diagonal - 5.5 inches, which resulted in excess.

The smartphone cases are made of metal; there are two versions of Huawei Nova on sale: 3+32 GB and 4+64 GB.

Essentially, it’s the same smartphone.

They differ only by names and operating systems.

Xiaomi Mi A1 is the company's first smartphone to run on “pure” Android, while the Mi 5X has removed the MIUI shell.

As many smartphones as we have seen ( | ), one of the features, as you may have guessed, is the Snapdragon 625 processor.

I call Xiaomi.

The Chinese company was especially pleased with the Snapdragon 625. It’s not for nothing that smartphones based on this chipset sell especially well, especially in a number of online stores.

Mi Max 2 is a continuation of the line of great smartphones, commonly called phablets.

The screen diagonal of Mi Max 2 reaches 6.44 inches, making it one of the largest on the market.

At the same time, the model is elegant, has a thin metal body and excellent ergonomics.

The Snapdragon 625 processor has 4 GB of RAM.

Virobnik offers the smartphone in three configurations of permanent memory: 32, 64 and 128 GB.

There is a double main camera, represented by a pair of 13 megapixel sensors, and in front there is an 8 megapixel selfie sensor.

The Smartisan Pro battery is 3500 mAg, it claims to support fast charging technology.

Let the model be small and deservedly lose its place in the ranking of the largest smartphones on the Snapdragon 625.

Asus ZenFone 3 ZE520KL

Asus, of course, is important to compete with well-known brands in the mobile market, but the company regularly competes with the best smartphones.

A smartphone that is unique for today’s market and is available to any company.

The main feature of the BlackBerry KEYone is a full-fledged physical QWERTY keyboard, which takes up part of the front side.

Across the screen, the smartphone has a diagonal of 4.5 inches with a 3:2 aspect ratio.

"Zalizo" looks desperate.

Here we have an 8-core Snapdragon 625 processor and 3 or 4 GB of RAM, and for personal files there are 32 or 64 GB of storage space.

Learn about the photo capabilities of the BlackBerry KEYone without letting us down.

The company classifies the range of Snapdragon processors into three groups: 400 series – low-end solutions for budget smartphones, 600 series – mid-range processors, 800 series – top-end chips for flagship devices.

At the same time, the statts are out of the Snapdragon 625 VS 650, the interpretation of the RIZNITSI Tsimi processors with a browned vicoristan, I, the Yaki Chopset, is painted with vibration lovers of mobile gaming.

Snapdragon 650 vs Snapdragon 625

650 dragon has been on the market for a long time, having previously been introduced in 2015 at number 618, and then later changed its name and taken the top position in the middle class.

Snapdragon 625 - chipset, announced in mid-2016, a new solution, but already tested well and has earned a lot of positive comments.


What's more beautiful?

It is important to improve the basic technical characteristics.

Snapdragon 650 is based on 28 nm technology and is based on 6 cores, including 2 high-performance Cortex A72 (1.8 GHz) and 4 energy-efficient Cortex A53 (1.4 GHz).

The idea is simple - if you like to play resource-intensive 3D games, then you should choose a smartphone with a 650 Dragon to ensure better gaming productivity.

The difference between chipsets is not so great.

You can launch and play the most important games without any problems on the Snapdragon 625, the advantages lie in the ability to set up better graphics settings, and less FPS drops in complex scenes, and also not so often to sharpen the differences micro-fries and benefits, which in total means comfortable gaming.

With everyday use of the smartphone, the productivity of both processors will be sufficient, and without playing games you will not notice the difference between them.

Both chipsets have proven themselves to be good, including always minimal resistance to heating and throttling.

Summing up the battle of Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 650, we give the championship belt to the 650-dragon as the most productive processor that can be used today in inexpensive smartphones, or This is what the average consumer needs in the modern world.

The most beautiful smartphones on Snapdragon 650

The advent of the Snapdragon 650 comes from the company Xioami, which has released several smartphones on this chip, which have gained popularity due to the price/capacity ratio.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

RN3P is one of the best-selling smartphones in the world in 2016, which will not waste its profit in the near future.

For 11 thousand. rubles, you get a luxurious device with a powerful processor and 32/3 GB of memory, a large and clear 5.5'' IPS Full HD screen, 16/5 MP cameras and a large battery that lasts for 2-3 days of full use of the smartphone .

There are not so many shortcomings - average picture quality, the presence of NFC and an undiscovered finger scanner.

Numerous smartphones have been released on the Snapdragon 625, which once again confirms the idea that the chipset will be completely removed.

The most beautiful ones in our opinion.

Nubia Z11 Mini S

Z11 Mini S is one of the best camera phones in the mid-price segment and is simply a great gadget with balanced characteristics.

The smartphone has on board a 5.2” Full HD IPS screen, 64/4 GB of expandable memory, a 23 MP main camera and a 13 MP front camera (4K video recording), a 3000 mAg battery.

The shortcomings are the middle shell of Nubia UI and the middle speaker.

Price - about 17 thousand. rubles

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime

Redmi 4 Prime is an average product with a productive processor and a clear FHD screen.

The smartphone has a metal body with a finger scanner, 32/3 GB of memory + Micro-SD slot, and a 4010 mAg battery.

In China, you can buy a smartphone for 130 dollars; our prices for a device start at 10 thousand. rubles, why put it on par with Redmi Note 3 Pro.

As you are told by the size of the RN3P, then Redmi 4 will be a great option for purchase.

Given the total number of exhibitors, there are few competitors.

To make the number of processors more representative, we include the number of smartphones from Meizu and Huawei.

In this way, we believe that optimization of software by different processors flows into the chipset.

And, in order to make the material as bright as possible, we will add another processor to the upgrade - Qualcomm Snapdragon 650! MediaTek Helio X20 and Snapdragon 625/650: characteristics and theory First of all, humility is important -

1st fourth moment – graphics adapter. The MediaTek Helio X20 has a four-core Mali-T880, a powerful graphics system similar to the Galaxy S7.

The Adreno 506 of the Snapdragon 625 is the weakest graphics chip, and the Adreno 510 axis of the S650 can compete with the Mali-T880 on equal terms.

Other characteristics of Helio X20 and Snapdragon 650 do not affect the performance of smartphones in a great influx.

It is important to note that in RAM controllers the S650 and X20 support dual-channel memory, while the S625 supports single-channel memory, otherwise the distribution of forces cannot be changed.

The type of RAM is the same for everyone, LPDDR3 and the same.

  • Categories of modems are being expanded, and all smartphones can receive data at speeds up to 300 Mbps.
  • The speed of data transfer also changes: it is maximum for Snapdragon 625 (150 Mbit/s) and minimum for MediaTek Helio X20 (50 Mbit/s).
  • MediaTek Helio X20 and Snapdragon 625/650: smartphone testing
  • To confirm the correctness of theoretical predictions, we will take the most popular smartphones on these chipsets:
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Helio X20)

Meizu MX6 (Helio X20)

Huawei nova plus (Snapdragon 625)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon 625)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon 650)

Why did you choose these smartphones?

The next step is to check the graphics performance in the GFX and BaseMark X benchmarks. The MediaTek Helio X20 MT6797 processor and Snapdragon 650 are actually on par.

In GFX, the leader is Meizu MX6 on Helio, and BaseMark X and Redmi Note 3 on Snapdragon 650 occupy the first row.
It’s worth noting that the Mali-T880 and Adreno 510 graphics chips effectively maintain constant pressure.

Adreno 506 is a great deal for them.

It was impossible to check the smartphones’ swidcode using complex tests AnTuTu and BaseMark OS 2.0.

The results of these benchmarks depend on the speed of the CPU and graphics processor, as well as RAM, internal interfaces and software.

The smartphones running the Mediatek Helio X20 were the most successful in the comprehensive tests.

The Redmi Note 3 on the Snapdragon 650 gave up close to 10,000 points in Antutu. The synchronous installation of smartphones on the Snapdragon 625 added up over 10,000 points from the other place and about 30,000 thousand from the first.

Take some of the trouts and beat them into pantelika.

The hour of autonomous operation of the Huawei nova plus on the S625 is longer, but the difference is minimal, and can be attributed to the capacity of the battery.

Ale! Testing of Huawei nova plus was carried out in the maximum productivity mode of the chipset, and testing of Meizu was carried out with a screen brightness of 200 threads (less than 50%).

Well, for the sake of jealous minds, Huawei nova plus is worth more than MX6 on one charge. MediaTek Helio X20 and Snapdragon 625/650: pouches

Battery Vitrata

For the new Snapdragon 435 and 625, we will show the real balance of power in the benchmarks and explain why there is a difference.

We take into account the computational power of the central processing unit (CPU), the potential of the graphics adapter, as well as the economy of operation with a battery.

The improvement in the autonomy of phones will show how much Xiaomi smartphones with different batteries and different processors operate on a single charge.

Snapdragon 435: characteristics

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 MSM8940 processor is a slightly smaller version of the latest model - Snapdragon 430. There are no fundamental advantages between the chipsets, the Americans simply replaced the modem with a new one (Cat 13/7), eliminating the cost their core architecture and their clock frequency.

Snapdragon 435 MSM8940 based on eight reference Cortex-A53 cores.

These cores have low to medium computational pressure (depending on the clock frequency).

The technical process adds another important characteristic of the processor - its energy efficiency.

The more sophisticated the technical process, the more economical the chipset drains the battery, and the longer the mobile phone lasts on a single charge.

The Snapdragon 625 uses a more subtle generation process, which automatically promotes the autonomy of devices that work on it.

The proof of this will be in the other part of the article if we move from theory to tests of mobile phones.

Graphics speed in Snapdragon 435 and 625 processors of the same generation, or different versions.

One could assume that the speed of the robot in games would be equal, but this is not the case, since the actual computational power of the 435th Dragon is completely lower, and this is indicated on the frame rate.

But it’s best not to rush into conclusions, since when choosing a cheap gaming smartphone you have to take into account an additional factor – a separate screen.

  • The report about the price is below the text.

Well, the Snapdragon 435 MSM8940 processor has modest characteristics.

The difference is given to the competitor in the clock frequency of the CPU cores and in the manufacturing process.

It’s amazing how the device is indicated on the Snapdragon 435 and Snapdragon 625 smartphones.
Snapdragon 435 vs. Snapdragon 625: which is better in benchmarks?
To compare the benchmarks, we selected 3-4 phones with processors to test us out.

In GeekBench 4.1 in high-task mode, the Snapdragon 625 is twice as fast as its competitor.

In single-core mode, the gap between processors is not so great, so it’s hard not to mention it.

As Antutu worries, the dark picture remains significant: the pair Snapdragon 435 vs 625 has a high-number processor that is 29-32% better than its competitor, as we predicted.

Speed ​​of robots in games

What devices can claim to be an inexpensive gaming smartphone - Snapdragon 435 or 625?

At this point, nutrition can be a bit rhetorical, but not everything is so simple.

Let's check the balance of power in the 3D benchmark GFX 3.1.

Perhaps we reject another picture?

GFX 3.1 Manhattan (1080p offscreen)

  • When simulating high resolution (1080p) on smartphones, the speed of 625 does not raise any doubts.
  • However, here the group has an additional parameter for the appearance of a separate screen.
  • Most smartphones on the S625 have a FullHD screen, which puts more emphasis on the graphics adapter.
  • Smartphones based on Snapdragon 435 are showing greater variability: both models with a FullHD screen and devices with a smaller separate building of 720 by 1280 pixels.

And here the picture changes.

In terms of performance, the HD Snapdragon 435 outperforms its competitor.

If your first priority is the autonomy of your smartphone, you should definitely select a device on the S625.

Proof of this is the same operating time on one charge for two Xiaomi phones – Redmi 4X and Redmi 5 Plus.
With the new battery capacity, the Redmi 5 Plus on the S625 has a longer battery life and does not require a 6-inch screen with a separate FullHD+ display.However, when the screen is active, it consumes more battery power, which miraculously illustrates the superiority of the 625th Dragon in its power supply.

Pouches lined Snapdragon 435 and 625

So, in a pair of processors Snapdragon 435 vs 625, which is better?

Definitely superior to the Snapdragon 625. In fact, smartphones with this processor drain battery power faster.

Ale Yakshcho I want to rob on a new telephone in Igri, fate, S625 to put on the phones of the Zdatnistya Ekran 1080 x 1920 pixeliv, that hour of the yak Snapdragon 435 can be din -cheap models of the display hd.

Graphics adapter for the Snapdragon 430 processor - Adreno 505. The 500th series graphics are found in the latest Qualcomm processors - Snapdragon, and so on.

It’s true that there are Adreno 530 and Adreno 540, but the fact is lost in fact.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 supports separate cameras up to 21 MP and video recording in 1080p @ 30FPS format.

Supports Bluetooth 4.1, separate Full HD displays and NFC technology (bank cards on the phone). Allowed QHD is not supported, however, state employees should not install such displays.

You definitely need to see the support for fast charging Quick Charge 3.0 (the smartphone charges up to 50% in about 30 minutes).

An LTE Cat.4 modem is not the best option.

Internet bandwidth is 150 Mbit/sec, output speed is 50 Mbit/sec.

RAM type LPDDR3 800 MHz is not enough compared to flagships, but the norm for budget employees.

Verdict.

Supports Bluetooth 4.1, separate Full HD displays and NFC technology (bank cards on the phone). Experts compare the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor not with the middling 2015, but with the old hits - Snapdragon 800 and Helio P20.

And in this case, the new SD 625 looks even more sophisticated.

At the beginning of 2016, the chipset was installed on phones from the middle price segment, and today it can be used on the lowest budget phones.
