Positive Aspects

1. Performance

The Snapdragon 865 delivers strong flagship CPU and GPU performance with its Kryo 585 cores and Adreno 650 GPU, delivering high benchmark scores and smooth multitasking and gaming performance.

2. AI Capabilities

Equipped with the Hexagon 698 NPU, the 865 shows notable efficiency in AI and machine learning workloads that improve on-device intelligence and features.

3. Multimedia and Camera Support

Support for up to 8K video capture and 200MP camera sensors enables advanced photography and videography capabilities in supported devices.

Negative Aspects

1. Power Efficiency

Although built on a 7nm process, the Snapdragon 865’s power efficiency is good but trails more modern 5nm/4nm architectures resulting in higher energy draw in some workloads.

2. Modem Integration

The 865 relies on an external 5G modem (X55), which can lead to higher power use and complexity compared to SoCs with integrated 5G modems.

Device information for this processor will be available soon. We are working on collecting data about smartphones and tablets that use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865.
