Top five Smartphones with Snapdragon™ 652 Processor in India
Processor is the most important specification in any smart device. The SoC supports application processes, rendering graphics, memory management, wireless modem and multimedia decoding. Today Qualcomm Snapdragon processors in mobile have a reputation of being the most dependable choice by any customer. Among the Snapdragon processors, the SD 652 is a leading choice by manufacturers in their mid to hid end mobiles.
The octa core Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 652 comes with four powerful ARM Cortex-A72 cores and four more energy efficient Cortex-A53 cores for background tasks. SD 652 is good for multitasking and does not drain the battery. It may not be a performance powerhouse, but it helps the manufacturer concentrate on the user experience while the cost, performance and efficiency is assured by Snapdragon 652. I have tested a bunch of mobiles with SD 652 and I have found that these mobile perform like their flagship top end brothers. The mobiles with SD 652 also have good camera capabilities.
