We did some analysis on this chipset, compared with other Qualcomm SoCs:

Although this is 6** series, this is more powerful than old 8974 shipset (Snapdragon 800/801) on every aspect.

For daily operation, it's more smooth and stronger than for example 808 to some extent. It uses 4x A53 for normal use.

Power efficiency is awesome! (Being a 14nm processor) Thanks to this chipset my Moto Z Play can get a nearly 3 days average use battery life, and no lag at all.

This chipset is widely used in other brands and proved stable and useful.

Its only weakness (well only "weak" when you compare with flagship SoCs) is on graphic performance and upto 1080p support.

Why we don't want to use SoC like snapdragon 820?

- End user will probably pay 300+ more bucks
- Much more power consumption
- Want to play games?

Then get a PS4 or Switch

- Want 2K screen? I don't see any benefits of 2K resolution over 1080p on a 5.5 inch, unless it's under microscope...
