To many tech enthusiasts, this question may seem obvious, but most consumers do not pay attention to what functions the chipset can perform in their smartphone.

It is important to know what certain chipset brands can provide you, depending on the usability that will be given to the product. Are you looking for a smartphone that’s good for photography, smooth navigation for everyday tasks, or high performance for gaming?

To help you choose the perfect smartphone for you, Christiano Freitas, Director of Mobile Business at Positivo Tecnologia, details the features and highlights the main benefits of the chipsets.

What is a chipset?

A smartphone chipset is the equivalent of a computer processor. It is with its help that the device processes data and graphics, communicates with the network and performs other tasks. The speed and performance of a cell phone is directly determined by the capacity of this component along with the RAM, and without the chipset, the device could not work. On the other hand, unlike PCs where there are multiple components for each function, in smartphones the chipset performs many of these tasks from a single “chipset” called the chipset.

“The chipsets are assembled using SoC (System on Chip) technology, integrating several main components of the device, so that most of the processing of the smartphone works as a single unit, facilitating development, reducing size and, therefore, power consumption.” explains Christian.

Chipsets for different purposes

Like all smartphone components, the chipset also meets various requirements and needs. Chipsets such as the Mediatek Dimensity 900G, Snapdragon 695 5G, and Snapdragon 778G Plus, for example, work not only to boost graphics performance in games, but also to support 5G connectivity on mobile devices. Many of these processors are already making up intermediate smartphones, accelerating the adoption of 5G in the country and leaving users ready for this new technology.

Various brands such as positive technology, xiaomi as well as Motorola are aware of these demands that 5G makes and care about providing their customers with a good experience when it comes to the performance of the chipsets that will be in their smartphones, whether it is to provide a smoother experience in games such as free fire, League of Legends: Wild Rift, call of duty mobile as well as Asphalt 9: Legendsor even keep in touch with cutting edge technology.

“The better the chipset, the higher the performance of the smartphone in games and the greater the number of graphics and game resources. For example, a high performance gaming chipset can provide a very high resolution, high frame per second (FPS) game. Everything will depend on the needs of the user and how much he has to invest in the device.”says Christian.

Functions beyond games

In addition to gaming processing, chipsets determine other device characteristics, such as the maximum camera and screen resolution, as well as the ability to use various mobile network technologies, such as 4G and 5G, necessary for browsing the Internet, for example. .

“Chipsets determine that each device can take advantage of different technologies. To do this, the manufacturer simply needs to add features that will improve the user experience within the limitations of the chipset itself.”concludes Cristiano.
