Of the changes visible to the naked eye, the maximum frequency of the fastest of the cores has grown from 2.4 GHz to 2.8 GHz. So we are waiting for a few percent increase in the number of parrots in synthetic tests.

And so - it's still the same serious pre-flagship5G chipset. As a separate feature declared the ability to update their own graphics drivers via Google Play. Like other models with the letter G in the name, they are positioned as intended for gaming devices (support for something called “Snapdragon Elite Gaming”).

Finish the smartphone.
