Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G

Released May 19, 2021Mobile Chipset

The 2021 midrange darling: a 6nm chip with four Cortex-A78 cores, Wi-Fi 6E and a triple-ISP camera stack that gave phones like the Galaxy A52s and Nothing Phone (1) a flagship feel. The Adreno 642L still handles casual games, but the 6nm node now shows its age.

Pros

  • Four Cortex-A78 performance cores
  • Wi-Fi 6E and triple ISP were rare at this price
  • Defined a strong generation of midrangers
  • Cool, well-behaved thermals

Cons

  • 6nm process trails modern 4nm parts
  • Adreno 642L struggles with today's heavy games
  • Cortex-A78 cores predate Armv9
