This chip is actually SD475. its worse than SD480, and it only supports 1k video.

Wow, so it took them 3 years to come up with a chip that’s slower in the same price bracket? I wonder what Qualcomm is up to.

I think 680 is stronger than 675 but why more people choose 675 :))?

See no phones with snap 675 is high and a lot of developers developed their programs with this processor already so obviously it’s people's choice moreover it's supporting 4K which is ideal for future game construction that’s why people still going for 675 rather than 680.

They chose because if a 3.5-year-old CPU has the exactly same power as its predecessor and selling them at an overpriced rate thus making the lower mid-range market suck, makes sense I'll vote 675 too.

SM680 was built in 2021 vs SDM675 in 2018, which means 3 years after but still below expectation. What the hell Qualcomm engineers are doing.?
