Snapdragon 820 is the name of the new face developed by the company Qualcomm for implementation in Android smartphones and tablets in the next year, and below are its specifications.
Starting with Snapdragon 820 the Qualcomm company will make the transition to 14nm FinFET chips, the company making the decision to implement 64-bit processors with only four cores called Hydra, they will bring a performance increase of approximately 35% compared to the Snapdragon 810.
Separate from the processing side, on the graphics side Snapdragon 820 it would contain the Adreno 530 graphics cards which would offer a performance increase of approximately 40% compared to the previous models, so overall the performances should be similar to those of the A9 chip.
Moreover, the new Snapdragon 820 chip should be up to 30% more energy efficient compared to the Snapdragon 810, so batteries of a similar capacity to those offered now should offer a much better autonomy in daily use.
Continuing, the Snapdragon 820 should offer support for dual-channel DDR4 RAM that reaches maximum frequencies of 1866 MHz, 28-megapixel cameras, 4K video recording at 60 frames per second, and a dedicated sensor for recording multimedia content in conditions low brightness.
According to the sources of this information, Snapdraagon 820 is to be presented at the end of this year by the Qualcomm company, but the official launch would only take place in Q1 2016, so only then will we see the first smartphones with the new implemented chip.
In this idea, the Snapdragon 820 will only arrive in the Samsung Galaxy S7, HTC ONE M10 and possibly other lesser-known smartphones, so Apple's future A9 chip will have enough time to dominate the smartphone market in terms of performance.
Although the Snapdragon 820 is announced to be very interesting, it seems that it has some problems with overheating, they are not as big as those of the Snapdragon 810, but it could motivate Samsung to avoid the Qualcomm company this year as well.
