Let’s start with a closer look at the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 (SM6115); which is to some extent a “downgraded” version of the Snapdragon 665.
The processor adopts a 11nm manufacturing process, an 8-core Kryo 260 design (4 plus 4); with a maximum frequency of up to 2.0GHz. We then find an integrated Adreno 610 GPU, a Hexagon 683 DSP and Spectra 340T ISP. These will support up to 48MP image sensors, HEIF format pictures and are optimized for three camera setups to work smoothly.
Other specs include an integrated X11 LTE baseband (for downloads at up to 390Mbps); support for UFS 2.1 flash storage, LPDDR3 / LPDDR4X RAM and QC 3.0 fast charge, etc.
