Insane Mobile Gaming - Graphics Upgrades
If you're into mobile gaming (like me) you'll be happy to know the new Snapdragon 670 houses the Kryo 360 CPU which delivers 15% better performance than the previous chip. This combined with the Adreno 615 means even with a mid-range smartphone you can remain competitive in games like PUBG. (Add me on PUBG username : WhatGear 4) The Adreno 615 also offers a turbo boosting function...for those more intensive gaming sessions. On top of all that, devices sporting these processors will, in fact, render your games 25% faster than the previous Snapdragon.
Also, thanks to this particular upgrade, don't be surprised to see 4K video playback widely available in the mid-range market very soon.
Regeneration Powers - Battery Upgrades
The amazing thing is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 670 delivers all of this upgraded performance with lower battery consumption.
Battery efficiency is super important for me and it's really great news for OEM's & for you.
The time which you spend replenishing your batteries has been shortened with the 670. The new Charge 4+ will allow you to achieve 50% battery power in just 15mins...which is just awesome.

As well as improved photography, gaming, battery and charging time. We will also see improved connectivity with the Snapdragon X12 modem.
