Qualcomm Releases Snapdragon 712 Mobile Platform: 10% Better Performance!

Yesterday, Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 712 mobile processor platform. From a specification point of view, it is more like a small upgraded version of the Snapdragon 710. The main difference between the two is that the frequency of the new chip is 2.3 GHz, compared to 2.2 GHz in the previous generation. According to Qualcomm, the new chip can improve performance by 10%. Of course, the frequency increase of only 0.1 GHz is obviously impossible, and the process technology is optimized to make the processor have lower power consumption and heat generation, thereby increasing the operating frequency under high load.

In addition, the upgrade to the QC4+ for fast charging support allows the smartphone to be charged from 0% to 50% in approximately 15 minutes. Bluetooth audio technology has also been enhanced by the technology provided by TrueWireless Stereo Plus and Broadcast Audio.
