Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 690 chipset with sub-6GHz 5G, Wi-Fi 6

16 June 2020
The Snapdragon 690 is the successor the Snapdragon 675.

Sort by:

Looks like snapdragon 600 series reach it's peak.
It's at number 690. Maybe this is the last and the best 6xx soc.
Or not? What's next? 695. 695+?

      Viper, 17 Jun 2020Read my every comment and then judge me.No its fine they ha... moreSo you mean mid-range chip can't provide flagship performance? Maybe not the same gen to gen, but D820 can match close to SD855 except for GPU department. People say its mid-range largely because of the price, and price of the handsets they are in.

      Secondly it is pretty much proven that 4+4 cores setup is as efficient as 2+6 cores (855, 7nm vs 730, 8nm). 855 have a tiny edge with 7nm vs 8nm, but battery consumption wise they are close or even ahead. Don't believe, go compare K20 vs K20Pro, both are identical except for the chip. So this pretty much made your argument of 2+6 being not efficient as 4+4 invalid.

      And btw, mid-range chip is mid-range because they often use slightly older process to manufacturer and not with the latest features. It is not due to using poor thermal paste...
      New process means higher chance of failure, or in other words, manufacturer charge a premium to cover the failed chips.

        Viper, 17 Jun 2020Read my every comment and then judge me.No its fine they ha... moreTheres no problem putting little cores at 2ghz, its not like they are always at 2ghz. That extra 200mhz can help in getting a few more points in benchmark which is nice marketing i think.

            AnonD-894375, 17 Jun 2020By your logic, SD8xx series should all have 2+6 configurati... moreRead my every comment and then judge me.No its fine they have 4big cores thats not the problem the problem is those 4cores are clocked at 2.6ghz on the other hand sd865 has one 2.8ghz cores and three 2.6ghz cores their is difference.And as everyone is saying dimesity is midrange chip and midrange chip didn't use good quality of thermal paste IN COMPARISON TO THE FLAFSHIP PHONES WITH SD865 they do so just to reduce the price in midrange phones.And also meditek pushed its efficiwncy cores to 2.0ghz and no other manufacturer pushes its low power cores to 2.0ghz WHEN ITS COMBINED WITH BIG CORES

              GLENN Mc, 17 Jun 2020Nice opinion... My opinion on this is that.... Yes, maybe... moreI agree with you that faster internet speeds are nice to have. But it all depends upon if you have access to 5G network. It makes sense in countries with some level of deployment.
              In my country 5G deployment, even in pilot phase is more than an year and a half away. Still many OEMs are selling multiple variants of devices with only top variant having 5G. All variants run on same chipset. The devices are even marketed as 5G ready.

                    Arkiki Langstang, 17 Jun 2020Snapdragon really see other competitor doing very well now ... moreIf I buy an Android device instead of an iPhone, I'll only consider Snapdragon or Exynos or Mediatek Dimensity

                      Viper, 17 Jun 2020And yeas what did u know about arm cores??.What u said that... moreBecause it's the case with snapdragon. New soc is always more efficient or better in grapich with soc. But they have different speed. SD 835 is still better than any of the soc below it. Except for the gpu I think.
                      I don't really know about all that. I'm an user.
                      But yes I think this mtk dimensity is a game changer.
                      So we can afford flagship performance and 5g in lower price than snapdragon offerings.

                          AhmedSLL, 17 Jun 2020What on planet earth are you talking about, all flagship ch... moreYeah bro all flagship has 4big cores but lets dig deep inside the sd865 its has one big core at 2.8ghz and other three big cores at 2.4ghz its not like meditek.The meditek has put all their 4big cores at 2.6ghz.Moreover u only said that dimensity 800 is a midrange chip and sd865 is a top end chip and believe me those high end phones use a way better colling paste or thermal paste than those are being used in midrangers.

                            Viper, 17 Jun 2020Well yeah first of all you are a meditek fanboy because u a... moreOk. With all do respect. Let's see the real world review when this phone release globally. I'm not mtk fanboy. My phone use snapdragon fyi

                              Snapdragon really see other competitor doing very well now they just announce many processor just for the sake of announcing it. Truth will remain 730g is good midrange device, 768g for 5G midrange device and everyone is expecting SD865 at 300$ phone. If this is possible then competitor will shut down their company. But looks like now Mediatek reach Snapdragon level and all processor is Kirin=snapdragon=mexiatek. They all are equal no one is better.

                                  Too little too late Qualcomm, we are have the Dimensity from MEDIATEK.

                                    dbjungle, 17 Jun 2020They did this with the 675 too. It's pretty weird, but I d... moreThey put that in the note 7 pro, it was very popular and pretty cheap. And the galaxy m40. Those two are all i remember.

                                      Nav, 17 Jun 2020Multicore performance of d800 chipsets would be way betterHmm idk, i would wait for scores to leak, 710 had better multi than 660.

                                        Viper, 17 Jun 2020Dimenaity 880 and 882 is good they are fast but not efficiw... moreWhat on planet earth are you talking about, all flagship chip sets have 4 power cores (2+2 in the newer architecture), the fact that the dimensity 800, a mid-range soc, have it is a huge advantage and not the other way around, these cores only kick in when performing heavy tasks. Where your reasoning might make sense is the efficiency cores, I don't have an answer for this, so I hope someone helps here, the efficiency cores are usually clocked higher in the mediatek chip sets compared to they're snapdragon counterparts, I mean A55 2Ghz gets almost repeated in every mediatek soc from the lower ranges to the higher ones, while this makes opening apps for the first time faster (not running on background), doesn't it come with and efficiency (also heating) cost?
