Summary

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 was once a key processor for many advanced smartphones. It was developed with an advanced 7nm manufacturing process. This enabled remarkable efficiency at the time. Its performance is based on the Kryo 485 architecture. This was designed for a smooth user experience.

A particularly positive feature is the integrated Qualcomm Adreno 640 graphics unit. This GPU delivered very solid graphics performance at the time. Users benefited from demanding applications and mobile games. Even today, the Snapdragon 855 still offers enough power for everyday tasks. The equipment included a maximum memory bandwidth of 34 GB/s.

In addition, 2 MB Level 2 and 2 MB Level 3 cache were integrated. We were really surprised at how reliably this chip still performs years later. Anyone looking for a stable, responsive system will still find a good option here.
