After the first mobile phone Mi 11 equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship processor S888 of this generation was released and went on the market, Qualcomm recently released a Snapdragon 870 CPU with a relatively low positioning.
The S870 CPU can actually be regarded as an evolution of S865+. Overall, the clock rate of the Kryo 585 core, which has been greatly modified by Cortex A77, has been increased from 3.09 GHz to 3.2 GHz. The rest are equivalent to S865+, which means that S870 is the same. No modem will be integrated, and mobile phone manufacturers need to add an X55 modem to achieve communication functions.
After all, there are currently some reviews and reports on the Internet that show that S888 may have “rollover” situations, such as excessive temperature, frequency reduction, etc. Qualcomm chose to release S870 at this time. I guess it seems that the actual situation of S888 may also be expected. In addition, earlier competitor MediaTek also released Dimensity 1200, perhaps S870 is used to position itself against Dimensity 1200.
Qualcomm officially stated that cooperative brands equipped with S870 CPU are expected to include manufacturers such as Motorola, iQOO, OnePlus, OPPO, and Xiaomi. If you want to choose a mobile phone with good performance and worry about the actual situation of S888, then S870 may be a compromise between performance and stable performance.
