Qualcomm has made the Snapdragon 768G official, and it comes with the same 5G modem as the Snapdragon 765 but with higher clock speeds
Qualcomm may have disappointed a lot of people by not announcing a faster version of the Snapdragon 865, but the chipset manufacturer has something that will make mid-rangers more capable and possibly more desirable by future customers. In comes the Snapdragon 768G, a slightly more powerful variant of the Snapdragon 765 that Qualcomm announced back in 2019. Here’s a closer look at the new silicon’s specifications and how future Android handsets could benefit from this release.
Both the Snapdragon 768G and Snapdragon 765 are made on Samsung’s 7nm EUV node, delivering the same level of efficiency. Both silicons also sport an integrated Snapdragon X52 5G modem. It’s slower than the Snapdragon X55, but it gives the less expensive smartphones compatibility with 5G networks and we believe that going forward, this is going to be a key upgrade in a lot of handsets.
