Qualcomm earlier announced the update of Snapdragon 600 series and Snapdragon 400 series processors, respectivelySnapdragon 632, Snapdragon 439, and Snapdragon 429These three products primarily bring the popular dual-lens camera combination and artificial intelligence technology to more mid-range and entry-level models.
The Snapdragon 632 will support a 2400-megapixel camera or a dual 1300-megapixel camera design, and supports portrait depth-of-field shooting modes and a combination of near and far focal lengths. It is essentially an upgrade of the previously released Snapdragon 626. Its Kryo 250 proprietary architecture design increases computing performance by approximately 40%, and its Adreno 506 GPU improves display performance by 10%. It also supports 4K video recording and 1080P+ full-size screen specifications. Network connectivity is achieved through the X9 LTE networking chip. It also incorporates device-side artificial intelligence application capabilities, thereby further expanding terminal computing applications to more mid-range models.
The biggest difference between the Snapdragon 439 and Snapdragon 429 is their display specifications. The former will be equipped with the Adreno 20 GPU, which improves display performance by 505%, while the latter uses the Adreno 50 GPU, which improves performance by up to 504%. The processor computing power of both is increased by about 25% compared to the previous generation, but they do not use Qualcomm's own architecture design. Both processor platforms are compatible with the X6 LTE networking chip.
In addition, the Snapdragon 439 can support a 2100-megapixel camera, or an 800-megapixel + 800-megapixel dual-lens camera, and also supports a 1080P+ full-size screen design. The Snapdragon 429 supports a 1600-megapixel camera, and also supports an 800-megapixel + 800-megapixel dual-lens camera design, but the screen resolution only corresponds to 720P+ specifications.
From a design perspective, we can see that Qualcomm is gradually bringing designs such as artificial intelligence, dual lenses, and full-size screens to more entry-level and mid-range models. Therefore, it is expected that starting from the second half of this year, more mid-range and entry-level models will begin to support dual-lens camera specifications and will also adopt full-size screen designs.
According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 632, Snapdragon 439 and Snapdragon 429 are all compatible with the software used by previous processors. Among them, the Snapdragon 439 and Snapdragon 429 are more directly compatible with the specifications of the previous generation products in terms of pin design.
