After recently announcing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform at its annual summit, Qualcomm has now silently introduced the new Snapdragon 782G mobile platform. The SoC is a successor to the Snapdragon 778G+ chipset and comes with a few upgrades, improved AI, and more.
The Snapdragon 782G is based on the 6nm Kryo 670 CPU. The octa-core structure has clock speeds of up to 2.7GHz, up from the 2.5GHz speed of the Snapdragon 778G+. It is said to show a 5% improved performance. The Adreno 642L GPU (same as its predecessor) can ensure up to 10% improved GPU performance.
Additional details include support for LPDDR5 RAM, USB-C, Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor for fingerprint scanning, and more. Plus, the Snapdragon 782G comes with Quick Charge 4+, which is claimed to provide a charge of 50% in about 15 minutes. The tech also promises extended battery life.
Qualcomm hasn’t revealed the timeline for the official release of the Snapdragon 782G chipset but this could happen soon. We expect the Honor 80, which will launch today, to get it.
