Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 APQ8026 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus APQ8060A vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8227

Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 APQ8026

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 APQ8026 is an entry-level ARM-SoC for Android smartphones and smartwatches. It integrates four Cortex-A7 cores at up to 1.2 GHz (Quad-Core) and a Adreno 305 graphics card at 450 MHz. Furthermore, Bluetooth 4.0 is integrated in the SoC.

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus APQ8060A

The Qualcomm APQ8060A (Snapdragon S4 series) is a ARM based high-end smartphone SoC in 2012. It contains two Krait (ARMv7) CPU cores, a Adreno 225 GPU (400 MHz), a LPDDR2 memory controller (up to 500 MHz). Compared to the MSM8260A it does not feature radio elements like GSM, GPRS, UMTS or LTE (only WLAN and BT). The chip is produced in 28nm LP (low power process) at TSMC.

The Krait cores offer a slightly better performance as the standard Cortex-A9 cores and are compatible to the NEON SIMD extensions.

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8227

The Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8277 is a mid-range SoC for smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It contains two Krait (improved ARM Cortex-A9) CPU cores at 1.0 GHz and a Adreno 305 graphics card. A memory controller and radio elements (excluding LTE) are also included. The chip is produced in 28nm LP process at TSMC.
