Chipset ranking can depend on factors such as the intended use of the chipsets in question, their specific features and capabilities it offers (e.g. network capabilities), and its performance. The ranking provided on this page takes these factors into consideration, but the overriding factor is performance. Of course, the higher a processor ranks in terms of performance, the more capable it is in terms of features. There are always a few exceptions to that rule of course, and there are some processors with higher performance which lack certain features that some lower ranked processors have. that As such, there is no universal way to rank them. As such, chipset ranking is not an exact science. It is more of a general guide. For more specifics, you have to dig into the specs sheet of each chipset. As this chipset ranking article is specifically about Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, note that sometimes, Qualcomm’s chip naming system is confusing, as you will find some chips with a lower number but with superior capabilities to some other numbered higher. The lists below help to clear away some of that confusion. They also let you see which models are the best and most powerful (which are used in the most expensive smartphones), and which ones are used in cheaper Android phones.
Premium Flagship Snapdragon Processor Ranking List
This chipset ranking provides the exclusive list of the best Snapdragon processors in the market. Android smartphones using any of these chipsets are the most powerful cell phones in the market in 2022.
Upper Mid-range Snapdragon Processor Ranking List
A quick note to clarify things about this list. You will find flagship processors from years past listed here, and that is because, in terms of CPU performance today, these older flagship chips fall among the current crop of mid-rangers. As such, they are listed here, because the idea of the lists on this page is to help you with a fair picture of how each processor ranks in terms of CPU performance.
Lower Mid-range Snapdragon Processor Ranking List
These Snapdragon chipsets provide decent performance for Android smartphones at a lower budget price point.
