Conclusion

It certainly isn't conclusive to judge through an on-paper comparison. However Snapdragon 865 brings mobile processing to next level, it is complete upgrade overs its predessor as its comes with Kryo 585 CPU and Adreno 585 GPU which renders Graphics 25% faster than Snapdragon 855 and 855+ GPU. With better X55 5G Modem, while in terms of Display support Snapdragon 865 can support 4K UHD @60 Hz, QHD+ @ 144 Hz while Snapdragon 855 And 855+ supports upto 4K UHD. But it terms of manfacturing process and charging technology both are same- fabricated on 7nm process and supports Quick charge 4+. And the best thing in 865 is that, its GPU Drivers can be enhanced via software update. During Qualcomm's Snapdragon Tech Summit, Xiaomi announced that Mi 10 will feature latest Flagship Snapdragon 865 Chipset. So Are You excited about Mi 10 with Snapdragon 865 chipsets?
