Snapdragon 625 Mobile Platform

Snapdragon 600 Series high-tier platforms are designed to support a high-value combination of advanced features, leading performance, robust connectivity and all-day battery life in leading devices.

The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 625 mobile platform uses leading-edge 14 nm technology to power premium experiences in high-tier smartphones without draining the battery. With features like support for full HD+ (1080p), an integrated Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X9 LTE modem, and Qualcomm® Adreno™ 506 PC-class graphics, the Snapdragon 625 is designed to provide fast connectivity, vibrant displays, and performance that's both powerful and efficient.

Qualcomm Snapdragon is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.

Battery life that goes the distance

Devices require less frequent charging thanks to a low-power Cortex A53 processor and efficiency-boosting features like universal bandwidth compression.

Don't miss a pixel

The Snapdragon 625's dual ISP supports rich detail for photos, in addition to an expansive set of camera features, like gyro image stabilization and enhanced autofocus.

More powerful processing

An integrated Adreno 506 Series GPU delivers processing power for dazzling displays.

4K Ultra HD video

Premium 4K video with HEVC capture and playback for optimal balance of quality and bandwidth.

Integrated X9 LTE

Up to 3x the LTE upload speeds of most LTE devices - up to 150 Mbps, and advanced Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO - for super-fast sharing of high res photos and videos.

Less time charging

Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 3.0 is up to four times as fast as conventional charging and is 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0. Spend less time charging and more time doing.
