  • 1080p video capture and playback support.

Unlike what the numbering suggests, the Snapdragon 200 isn't less powerful than its older sibling. It packs in Quad ARM Cortex-A5 CPUs clocked at 1.4 GHz. Here's the list of features claimed by the company:

  • Adreno 203 GPU.
  • HD video playback.
  • CDMA multimode/UMTS modem options.
  • High-accuracy GPS.
