Smartphone users have diverse needs, and Qualcomm Technologies has a suite of mobile platforms for all of them. That means device manufacturers can offer a range of cutting-edge choices from the entry-level 200 series to the premium 800 offerings. The Snapdragon 600 and Snapdragon 400 are two of our most popular tiers — not just for their high performance, but for the high value they deliver.

Since launch, our 600- and 400-level mobile platforms have powered over 1,350 and 2,300 mobile devices, respectively, from OEMs around the world. In fact, the technology meets the diverse needs of so many consumers and carriers around the globe that the list of smartphones powered by these new platforms reads like a who’s who of Android smartphone manufacturers.

Today at MWC Shanghai, we introduced upgrades to these already-popular tiers: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632, Snapdragon 439, and Snapdragon 429 Mobile Platforms. Among the improved features and performance these new mobile platforms are designed to deliver are better battery life, significant power enhancements, more efficient designs, artificial intelligence capabilities, an impressive camera, and extraordinary graphics, compared to previous generations.

Here’s a closer look at the Snapdragon 632, Snapdragon 439, and Snapdragon 429, and how they’ll enhance the next generation of mid-level mobile devices.

Snapdragon 632

Our 600-tier is feature-rich, engineered to support some of the most sought-after mobile experiences — including some available from our 800 tier — how’s that for value? In a major upgrade from its predecessor, the Snapdragon 632 Mobile Platform brings a Qualcomm Kryo CPU, complete with four performance cores and four efficiency cores designed for fast web browsing, smooth user interfaces, and extended battery life. Its camera ISP supports up to 24MP for a single camera or dual cameras at 13MP each, giving OEMs multiple options for device design.

Snapdragon 632 provides significantly more power over the previous generation Snapdragon 626, with the addition of the Kryo 250 CPU, which boosts performance by up to 40 percent. And thanks to the Qualcomm Adreno 506 GPU, graphics on the Snapdragon 632 deliver stunning results on an FHD+ display, and render up to 10 percent faster, making games and videos load quickly and in brilliant colors.

A Snapdragon X9 LTE modem is integrated into the Snapdragon 632, supporting download speeds up to 300 Mbps. In addition to its power efficiency, the mobile platform supports 10+ hours of video streaming, 10+ hours of gaming, 8+ days of music playback, and 1+ days of talk time.
