On the camera front, the chipset could support up to a 22.6-megapixel rear camera and up to 13-megapixel front-facing camera. However, the value could be greater with the finalized chipset. It is reported that the Snapdragon 670 will be manufactured using Samsung’s 10nm LPP processor, which is found in Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and Samsung Exynos 8895 processors.
Some reports suggest that the upcoming Snapdragon 670 would feature a similar octa-core chipset, which is found in its predecessor, the Snapdragon 660. This means it comes loaded with eight Kryo 260 cores with two high-performance cores. Multiple reports suggest that the company could unveil the processor by the Q1 of 2018.
Earlier this month, Qualcomm announced its latest flagship Snapdragon 845 mobile platform. With the Snapdragon 845 mobile platform, the company is heavily banking on the AI, camera, faster performance, among others. For this, the brand has developed a new Qualcomm Hexagon 685 DSP architecture with GPU and CPU enhancements for faster processing of neural networks. The platform will allow more information to be processed locally, which will result in better latency, reliability and security. The AI platform supports popular frameworks such as Google TensorFlow and Facebook Caffe2.
Moving to the performance, the latest Snapdragon 845 processor uses eight cores with ARM A75 and ARM A55 cores. The four high-performance A75 cores will run at a clock speed of up to 2.8GHz, while the four power-efficient A55 cores will run at a speed of up to 1.8GHz. The chipset also features new Qualcomm Adreno 630 visual processing subsystem that features room-scale 6DoF with SLAM, Adreno Foveation, and it offers a 30 percent improvement in graphics/video rendering compared to the previous generation.
