Snapdragon 835 Vs Snapdragon 821


Qualcomm has previously briefly introduced their flagship chipset for 2017, namely the Snapdragon 835. At the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES 2017) in Las Vegas, Qualcomm finally to reveal in detail the advantages of the most powerful processors this year.

Yes, Snapdragon 835 confirmed as brain majority of Android flagship smartphone this year and replace Snapdragon 820/821. Surely you will be intrigued by the power of Snapdragon 835?

Therefore, the following is a recap blogosmile comparison between Snapdragon  835 vs Snapdragon 821.

Comparison Between Snapdragon Snapdragon 835 Vs 821

1. 10nm vs 14nm, size Small and Efficient


10nm vs 14nm, size Small and Efficient

Unlike its predecessor, the Snapdragon 835 fabricated using 10 nanometer FinFET process. No longer a 14 nanometer process they used previously on a Snapdragon 821.

This architecture gives space to 30 percent, enabling the design of smartphones becoming more slim or larger battery capacity. Despite its smaller size, but faster, more features, and more power efficient.

2. Quad Core vs Octa Core

Unlike the Snapdragon 820/821 which is a quad-core, Snapdragon 835 has Kryo 280 octa-core with big.LITTLE configuration, ie 4 cores with high-performance speed 2:45 core 1.9 GHz and 4 GHz which is more power efficient.

Impact, Snapdragon also have an efficiency of up to 30 per cent and 27 per cent were able to improve the performance of the previous product. But, more saving up to 40 percent.

For the problem of the GPU, Adreno 540 Snapdragon 835 uses that supports 4K @ 60FPS rendering graphics and provides 25 percent faster. The new chipset is also compatible with Google Daydream platform. Qualcomm assess virtual reality or augmented reality will be hot in the future, Snapdragon 835 was optimized to support these technologies.

3. Better Camera

835 Snapdragon devices can support with a resolution up to 32 MP camera, plus features 30fps with zero shutter lag. The camera can take pictures more stable, accurate, sharp and focused.

Performance zoom, image stabilization, autofocus contribute to enhanced low light. And supports the optimal configuration of all sorts of smartphone cameras, for example, dual cameras.

4. Connectivity Faster


Faster connectivity

Snapdragon 835 will pack LTE modem Snapdragon new X16, which should allow downloads up to 10 times faster than first-generation 4G LTE device.

Sector connectivity, LTE modem Snapdragon Snapdragon 835 packing X16, which allows download 1 GB per second. While uploading, there are 13 categories LTE modem that allows you to upload at 150 MB per second. 4X supports carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, Bluetooth 5.0, and WiFi 802.11ad.

5. Quick Charge 4

Quick Charge 4 offers a 5 minute charge capability can be used 5 hours and 15 minutes of battery charge will be charged up to 50 percent.

Quick Charge 4 is claimed to be 20 percent faster and 30 percent more efficient than Quick Charge 3.0.
