Why so many! ? Why can't they make 3 processors every generation?
Low, mid and high-end.
STOP the unnecessary pollution and depletion of resources for profit!
I hope karma will get all the greedy azholes that destroy the planet for their personal gain!

    OhNom, 28 Oct 2021I think it's pretty obvious, I apologize if not, but i... moreoh ! my bad

      Anonymous, 27 Oct 2021690 is already better than half 7xx series. No problem. But it is not better than the 7xx of its same generation, if they called it 9xx it would mean that it is better per generation than the 7xx series

        zaryan, 27 Oct 2021it's a mobile soc not desktopI think it's pretty obvious, I apologize if not, but it was sarcasm that I had responded to

          I like how the render is just a bunch of LG G6s

            Syn, 27 Oct 2021I don't get the point of 778G+. It's basically 78... more778+ is the 780 that made in other foundry.
            Apparently, samsung can't produce enough SD 780.
            So, Qualcomm create 778 (and 778+) in TSMC foundry.

              AverageIndianUser, 27 Oct 2021why are they still working on 400 series. there were hardly... moreIn perfect world,
              Nokia & Motorola expensive SD 4xx will flop.
              Why on earth we buy 4xx device if for the same price (or maybe $10 more) we can get SD 6xx/7xx or Dimensity 7xx
              But well....

                Cris Jim, 27 Oct 2021So what would be your explanation?Come on, you should be able to calculate that yourself, i.e. 168%.

                  Anonymous, 27 Oct 2021120% of 140% is not 160%So what would be your explanation?

                    Cris Jim, 27 Oct 2021No! Actually the 778G+ now has the more powerful CPU & ... more120% of 140% is not 160%

                      No! Actually the 778G+ now has the more powerful CPU & GPU compared to the 780G, remember 778G has 40% GPU bumped from 768G while 780G has 50% GPU bumped from 768G while this new 778G+ has 20% GPU bumped from 778G so the total GPU performance of this new 778G+ has 10% more Performance compared to the 780G GPU

                        780G is made by Samsung (5nm).

                          why are they still working on 400 series. there were hardly any phones launched with SD480.... mostly nokia or motrola were the only buyers..... they should be using SD 695 to compete in budget chipset category if they wanna beat mediatek's growing share in budget phones.... make 695 cheaper

                            Nokia is chomping at the bits when they see the new SD480.

                              I don't get the point of 778G+. It's basically 780G now. The only real difference between 780G and 778G was the GPU performance, which is now basically non existent with the update.

                                Anonymous, 26 Oct 2021Snapdragon forever and always. If you want stability of course.Qualcomm and their Snapdragon chipsets have larger total number of security issues than other manufacturers, and the issues are almost always "very high" or "critical" rating. You can see this on Google Android security updates for yourself.

                                Snapdragon are the most insecure and most vulnerable to hacking today.

                                  [deleted post]Nah, they won't do that. "Love me" ads is already cringe enough for manufacturer that sold almost every phones with sd480.

                                      HMD will embrace the 480+ and call their phones "flagship". smh.

                                        What a shame. There are still no Wi-Fi 6 on mid-range chips starting SD695 and and below, still no AV1 hardware decoding even on flagship SD chipsets, no main in some countries 5G band 79 in qualcomm modems.
