Qualcomm unveiled a brand new mobile processor for mid-range affordable Android smartphones. The Snapdragon 768G supports worldwide 5G, 120Hz displays, and features a faster CPU and GPU.
Price may be an even more important factor when buying a new phone this year, as the novel coronavirus health crisis had a massive impact on the economy. Smartphone sales aren’t doing great as a result, and that’s hardly surprising. Millions of people have lost their jobs, so buying a new phone will not be a priority for quite a while. Apple just released a budget iPhone that has no match on the other side. The 2020 iPhone SE offers the same performance as the iPhone 11 phones but costs only $399, which is a great price to pay for a device that’s going to last for several years. Android handset makers have plenty of new mid-range offerings for buyers looking for affordable handsets, and the upcoming $399 Pixel 4a will be one such example. But mid-range Androids are about to get better thanks to a brand new chip from Qualcomm that will support 120Hz screens, worldwide 5G, and sport a better gaming performance.
