Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G

Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 480+

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G (SM4350-AC) is a lower mainstream SoC for (Android based) smartphones and tablets. It features eight cores in two clusters. A performance cluster with two ARM Cortex A76 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and a efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. Compared to the older SD 480 5G, the 480+ offers 200 MHz higher clocked A76 cores.

The integrated Qualcomm X51 5G modem can reach up to 2.5 Gbps (5G) / 800 Mbps (LTE) download and 660 Mbps (5G) / 210 Mbps (LTE) upload speeds. The SoC also integrates WiFi 6 2x2 and Bluetooth 5.1.

The integrated Adreno 619 GPU is over 100% faster than the old Adreno 610 in the SD 460.

The SD480 is manufactured in the modern 8nm process and should be very energy efficient.

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 680

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (SD680, SM6225) is a mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 265 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2.4 GHz (Kryo 265 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz (Kryo 265 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together. Compared to the older Snapdragon 665, the clock speeds are higher.

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a mid range Adreno 610 GPU with a LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel)  and supports Wi-Fi (802.11ac + MIMO, max. 867 Mbps), Bluetooth 5, and LTE (X11 LTE modem with up to 390 Mbps download).

The SoC is produced in 6nm (compared to the older 11nm LPP process of the similar Snapdragon 665).

Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 685

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 (SD685, SM6225-AD) is a mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 265 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2.8 GHz (Kryo 265 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.9 GHz (Kryo 265 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together. According to Qualcomm the SD685 is around 15% more CPU performance and 10% more GPU performance compared to the old SD680 (thanks to higher clock speeds).

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a mid range Adreno 610 GPU with a LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel)  and supports Wi-Fi (802.11ac + MIMO, max. 867 Mbps), Bluetooth 5, and LTE (X11 LTE modem with up to 390 Mbps download).

The SoC is produced in 6nm.
