Qualcomm introduces Snapdragon 720G, 662 and 460
Qualcomm today announced three new chipsets for entry level and mid-range smartphones - Snapdragon 720G, Snapdragon 662, and Snapdragon 460. The first one promises to bring many of the Elite Gaming features of the 765G with support for HDR, dynamic color range and high-quality synchronized sound with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive.
The SD662 will bring triple-camera support, which is a first for a Qualcomm 6-series chipset. Snapdragon 460 might be most affordable of all three, but still will be able to provide an increase in CPU and GPU performance over other 4-series chipsets.
