This article contains the list of Snapdragon Processors of the current series and their rankings. We have included the Snapdragon 200, 400, 600, 700, and 800 Series in this article.
The Specification of these Processors is obtained from Qualcomm‘s Official Website. But the method for the rankings and testing of the Processors is developed by Tech Centurion. We use various algorithms and consider real-world performance as a critical factor in the ranking of Processors.
If you wanted a comparison between various Processors, our rankings are the best way to determine the overall performance of the chip. For the complete list of benchmarks of mobile processors, visit here.
For many Tech Enthusiasts and prospective smartphone buyers, the performance of the device matters the most. And when it comes to Hardware, it is the processor that makes it possible to achieve that performance.
A better SOC will lead to better performance, multi-tasking, and gaming. And finally, all these factors will result in a better user experience. For me, the user experience and stability play the biggest role and for this reason, I prefer Qualcomm Processors over others. Most phones that run on these SOCs have excellent custom ROM development and support at XDA Developers.
Asus ROG Phone II (Check on Amazon) is one of the best and fastest Snapdragon 855+ out there as of November 2019. Oneplus 7T is another great option if the performance is what you need. If you need a budget device with flagship performance, you should check out the Pocofone F1.
In the next section, you can look at the rankings of all the Qualcomm Snapdragon Processors launched after 2014. And after that, you can check out the list of Processors belonging to Snapdragon 200, 400, 600, 800, and the new 700 series.

How to make use of this data?
Processors having the same or a close score can be considered as equivalent or similar in performance.
Above 125
The processors that scored above 125 on Centurion Mark deliver excellent performance in Gaming as well as Heavy usage. Selecting a phone with a processor from this category is highly recommended for the best user experience.
Between 100-125
Great performance is General use as well as gaming. If you’re buying a mid-range phone then you should target this range.
Between 70-100
In this range, performance is just above average. But you’re unlikely to observe any lags or any other significant issues. But some older chips like Snapdragon 810 having poor thermal performance might also fall into this category. If you have a low budget, try to get a phone that fits in this category.
Between 55-70
The general performance of these chips is below average but it is acceptable in lower-end phones. These can suffer from occasional lags as well as throttling issues.
Below 55
The performance of these chips is below par and should be avoided unless you’re buying an extremely cheap phone with a budget lower than $100.
What is Centurion Mark?
Centurion Mark is a Processor’s Performance Rating System developed by Tech Centurion. It is not just a benchmark tool or something that simply relies on the raw performance or the specification of a processor.
We calculate Centurion Mark based on a Processor’s Performance + Features + User Experience + Issues. If any processor suffers from lags or overheating in real-world usage, we deduct its score according to the extent of the problem. But if a chip is well-optimized, we make sure to give it extra points.
We calculate the score of Performance and Features via an algorithm and then we manually add or deduct score from it based on the User Experience. By giving a particular score to its raw performance, real-world performance, chip-level optimization, and user experience, we determine the Centurion Mark. All this makes Centurion Mark the most accurate way of calculating the performance and rankings of Processors.
- Snapdragon 810 received a heavy penalty in the score due to Throttling and Overheating Issues. We also deducted scores from Snapdragon 652, 617, and a few other Processors because of overheating.
- Only the Processors launched after 2014 are present in the above list
- We round off the Centurion Mark to the next significant digit
Even though 652/650 have better raw performance than 630/626/625,
630/626/625 may have compareable/better scores than 652/650 because of their Better Memory, Fabrication Technology, Modem, User Experience, and other Features.

The Snapdragon 800, 801, 805, and 808 were excellent Processors of their time. However, the Snapdragon 810 suffered from throttling and it was unarguably the worst processor of 800 series.
With Snapdragon 820, Qualcomm came back in the game strongly and introduced Kryo Cores for the first time. They further optimized the chip with the introduction of 821. The first Snapdragon Processor manufactured with 10nm Process was 835 and with this, we saw a major performance boost. 835 uses Kryo 280 cores which are actually semi-custom Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A53 cores.
SD 845 took the performance to even great heights. They further optimized the 10nm Technology and used the Kryo 385 cores which consist of semi-custom ARM Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 cores.
Now, we all are waiting for the upcoming Snapdragon 855 which is built on the 7nm Technology.
Snapdragon 700 Series (High-End)
Snapdragon 700 Series (High-End)
In 2018, Qualcomm announced a new series and the Snapdragon 710 was its first member. I’ve referred the Snapdragon 700 series as high-end because of its extreme performance that matches flagship processors. It fills the gap between 600 and 800 Series.
In our rankings, the Snapdragon 710 stands just below the 835 and this clearly indicates its high performance. It was actually supposed to be launched as the Snapdragon 670. But because the gap between mid-range and flagship series was filling up quickly so Qualcomm introduced a new series.
The specification as well performance of this series is top-notch and it is nearly impossible to differentiate it with an 800 series chip.

Snapdragon 600 Series (Mid-Range)
Snapdragon 600 Series (Mid-Range)
The 600 series targets the mid-range segment and some of its processors deliver high performance while some other target efficiency. The first processor of this series (Snapdragon 600) was launched in 2013. They further improved the performance with the introduction of 610.
I’ve never been a fan of the Snapdragon 615, 616, and 617. Even though they deliver decent performance, these three processors suffered from overheating and Qualcomm finally had to bring the 14nm Fabrication in the mid-range with the launch of Snapdragon 625.
The Snapdragon 625, 626, and 630 are highly efficient Processors because of the 14nm FinFET fabrication and their raw performance is decent as well.
On the other hand, the Snapdragon 650, 652, and 653 deliver a great performance due to their Cortex-A72 Cores but they sometimes overheat on heavy usage. Snapdragon 650 and 652 first appeared as Snapdragon 618 and 620 but because of their superior performance, Qualcomm renamed them.
The Snapdragon 660 and 636 were the first processors in 600 series to use Qualcomm’s Kryo cores. They use a Kryo 260 (a semi-custom Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A53 CPU) and the 14nm Technology. This makes them deliver high-performance without any throttling issues.
