Qualcomm Snapdragon 480+ 5G
Qualcomm's October 2021 Snapdragon 480+ 5G is an up-clocked Snapdragon 480: its Kryo 460 CPU reaches 2.2 GHz instead of 2 GHz, on the same 8nm process with an Adreno 619 GPU and X51 5G modem. Phones such as the Nokia G42 5G and Motorola Moto G53 5G use it.
Pros
- Kryo 460 CPU reaches 2.2 GHz, 200 MHz above the Snapdragon 480
- X51 5G modem supports mmWave and sub-6 GHz, in SA and NSA modes
- FastConnect 6200 adds 2x2 Wi-Fi (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.2
- Supports FHD+ displays at 120 Hz, a Spectra 345 triple ISP and Quick Charge 4+
Cons
- In review testing a Nokia G42 5G scored about 746 single-core and 1,917 multi-core points in Geekbench 6, which is modest performance
- Only two performance cores, and the same Adreno 619 GPU as the Snapdragon 480
- Video capture tops out at 1080p at 60 fps, with no 4K recording, and Wi-Fi stops at 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5)
- Graphics are modest: a Nokia G42 5G review measured 294 points in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme
