Everything about the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset
A completely impressive cluster of cores fits the processor, maintaining the essence of Snapdragon’s 800 series. Especially, the more powerful Cortex-X1 leads the way in central processing along with other, more efficient chipsets. On paper, the CPU sees a 25% jump over its predecessor.
When it comes to graphics, a revamped Adreno 660 GPU being 35% improved can push the various game limits, supporting 144fps gameplays and improved touch sample rates. Similar to PC graphics units, you can now update the Adreno 660 game drivers.
