Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (8998)

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 835

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform (MSM8998) is a high-end SoC for smartphones (mostly Android based) that was released early 2017. Its one of the first processors that is manufactured in 10 nm (LPE FinFET at Samsung). The SD835 is the successor to the Snapdragon 821.

It integrates 4x Kryo 280 at 2.45 GHz (max) for performance and 4x Kryo 280 at 1.9 GHz (max) for efficiency. Furthermore offers an X16 LTE modem, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad WiFi, a dual-channel 32-Bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller, an UFS 2.1 controller, Hexagon 682 DSP, Spectra 180 Image Seonsor Prozessor, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, GLONASS, Baeidou, Galileo Satellite Support.

Mediatek Helio G99

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G99

The Mediatek Helio G99 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2022. It is manufactured in a 6 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.2 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (max. 2 GHz) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The chip integrates an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 (two cores). Compared to the older Helio G96, the G99 is manufactured in the more recent 6nm process and clocks higher.

Furthermore, the integrated LTE / 4G modem supports Cat-13 download speeds. Wi-Fi 5 is also integrated (a/b/g/n/ac). The memory controller supportsLPDDR4x with up to 4,266 Mbps.
