With smartphone manufacturers developing affordable devices with flagship-level features, perhaps it was time for a Snapdragon 670 successor that offers improved AI functionality, better gaming performance, and support for better camera sensors. That’s why Qualcomm has extended its mid-range Snapdragon 600 series with the Snapdragon 675 Mobile Platform.

This will reduce the performance gap between the Snapdragon 710 and the Snapdragon 800 series. Eventually, manufacturers will have more freedom to price their devices in a competitive manner, while smartphone users will be able to enjoy premium features without splurging funds over a flagship device.
