Shortly after the Snapdragon 888, Qualcomm has officially unveiled the Snapdragon 870, which is basically a follow-up to last year’s Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 865 Plus. In many ways, the latest chipset is similar to Qualcomm’s 2020 chipsets, but instead of powering flagships of 2021, it will be found in less pricey but very capable Android smartphones. Here is a closer look at the new chip to see what it offers.

While the Snapdragon 870 isn’t made on the more advanced 5nm node, the 7nm EUV process is still capable, making the new silicon powerful and efficient. According to Qualcomm, the SoC can clock up to 3.20GHz, making it operate higher than the Snapdragon 865 Plus in terms of frequencies. Of course, this will also depend on the kind of cooling used by the phone manufacturer, but this is still a gain regardless.
