With the exception of the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, other Snapdragon 855-fueled smartphones haven’t been released yet, but thankfully, you can still experience a taste of how Qualcomm’s flagship SoC will. This is thanks to a host of tests conducted recently on a reference device. Of course, there are likely to be a few differences between commercial products and reference devices, but these still provide a good idea of what we could expect from Qualcomm’s 7nm FinFET silicon.

Final products are usually highly optimized and but reference devices are still a good way of analyzing a chipset’s performance before smartphones fueled by it are made commercially available. Folks over at Android Central recently ran a couple of tests, and it sure does seem that Qualcomm can give other SoC makers a run for their money. The publication didn’t run AI specific tests as Qualcomm says they have not been optimized for the Hexagon DSP. That being said let’s dive right into the numbers.
