Snapdragon 820 Processor
As
one of the most cutting-edge mobile processors ever created, the
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 processor with X12 LTE supports the ultimate
in connectivity, graphics, photography, power and battery efficiency.
See firsthand how we’ve designed the 820 from the ground up to be unlike
anything else.
Kryo CPU and Hexagon 680 DSP
The new Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU has 2x performance and efficiency when compared to the CPU of Snapdragon 810. The new Qualcomm® Hexagon™ 680 DSP also brings significant improvement to performance and battery life.
Adreno 530 GPU
The Qualcomm® Adreno™ 530 GPU offers 40% improvement to graphics performance, compute capabilities, and power usage when compared to Adreno 430.
Spectra Camera ISP
14-bit Qualcomm Spectra™ Image Signal Processor (ISP) supports the capture of up to 28 megapixels with zero shutter lag.
Breakthrough Connectivity
With several built-in upgrades, the Snapdragon 820 processor offers our most advanced LTE and Wi-Fi capabilities yet.
Lightning-Fast LTE
Supporting LTE Category 12 download speeds of up to 600 Mbps, and LTE Category 13 uplink speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the Snapdragon 820 processor with X12 LTE supports 33% faster peak download speeds, and triple the peak upload speeds of Snapdragon 810 processor with X10 LTE.
Advanced Wi-Fi
The Snapdragon 820 processor fundamentally changes the way Wi-Fi works with your phone by supporting both 802.11ad and 802.11ac 2x2 MU-MIMO — which allows Wi-Fi to be up to 2x or 3x faster than 802.11ac without MU-MIMO.
Versatile LTE-U
As the first commercial processor to utilize LTE-U, Snapdragon 820 can access LTE connections in both licensed spectrum and unlicensed spectrum — boosting your connection speeds and mobile broadband access in normally congested areas.
New Possibilities of Power and Performance
By combining cutting-edge processing capabilities with power-efficient features, the Snapdragon 820 processor not only works harder than its predecessors, it also works smarter.
Powerful Kryo CPU
As our first custom-designed 64-bit quad-core CPU, the Kryo CPU uses Qualcomm® Symphony System Manager as an intelligent resource management tool for Snapdragon that extends control of task scheduling and power management across the entire processor.
Efficient Hexagon 680 DSP
Significant improvement to the Hexagon 680 DSP enables the CPU to offload many tasks for more efficient processing. Featuring Qualcomm All-Ways Aware™ technology, the Hexagon 680 DSP also allows for ultra-low power “always-on” sensors and advanced low power-image processing.
Less Time Charging
With Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 3.0, users can spend less time charging and more time doing. As our fastest and most efficient charging technology yet, Quick Charge 3.0 is 4x faster than conventional charging and 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0.
Stunning Graphics and Camera Capabilities
From capturing the perfect picture to capturing an enemy’s base, the Snapdragon 820 processor turns almost any photo, video, or game into an absolute spectacle.
Immersive Visual Graphics
The next-generation of visual processing technologies is finally here, thanks to the power of the new Adreno 530 GPU. As our highest performance GPU yet, the Adreno 530 in the Snapdragon 820 processor along with the Kryo CPU are capable of generating photorealistic graphics for console-quality gaming and next-generation virtual reality apps, while delivering up to 40% improvement to graphics performance and compute capabilities when compared to the Adreno 430.
Advanced Spectra Camera ISP
The Snapdragon 820 harnesses the newest innovations in mobile photography to redefine today’s camera capabilities. Supported by the latest 14-bit image sensors, hybrid autofocus and multi-sensor fusion algorithms, the Spectra camera ISP captures a wider range of colors and supports computational photography. Plus, the Snapdragon 820 also has Hexagon 680 with HVX (Hexagon Vector eXtensions), which supports advanced imaging and computer vision.
