It is reported to pack 650MHz GPU. The chipset will be made upon a 28nm process similar to Snapdragon 410 and Snapdragon 425.
Qualcomm is testing this chipset on Huawei device having 1GB or 2GB RAM and 8GB or 16GB internal storage. It will also support the 720p HD+ display. As the chipset is no carrying the Snapdragon word, We can expect the company to launch it as a separate lineup.
