Flashback: the Snapdragon 625 efficiently conquered the mid-field in 2016

22 January 2023
This chip wasn't the best - but it was good enough and it wore that as a badge of honor.

              Near 2 weeks using 480+.

              I keep my G62 at 60Hz. Can use messengers, camera, youtube, pluto tv, reddit, opera, music player, 4G (dont even know if my city has 5G), maps, google play (update apps), chrome, drive, acrobat, lightroom (isocell JN1 is so crap that even editing cant fix photos) everyday.

              I only charge phone every 50-52h. Imagine what G82 with 695 can do.

              Too bad no brand makes anymore two equal phones but one with midrange SoC and other with flagship SoC while all other specs are basically same like G5/G5 SE, X/X Performance.

                    Not bad for low end chip from 2018, for phones made to those that want basic stuff.

                      Multicore was below S6, only above phones with 810 that were downclocked to avoid heat not at full power. .
                      Raw power of 810 was way ahead for Cpu.

                          Was a great chipset, I remember reading a ton of reviews of phones with the 625 and battery life was always stellar.
