A report by GizmoChina claims that it is also been speculated that the CPU will have two high-performing Kryo 360 cores, six high-efficiency cores and could be built with Qualcomm's 10nm LPP technology. However, it might be some time before we see devices with Snapdragon 670 being unveiled.This is because there are only a handful of devices this year which have the Snapdragon 660 according to the report. It is more than possible that we see some more upper mid-range devices in the first half of 2018 with the Snapdragon 660 before manufacturers begin moving towards the Snapdragon 670. The report claims, mass production of the Snapdragon 670 may start by the first quarter.The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset sporting devices should be coming on the market sooner. Here are the top five features of the Snapdragon 845 SoC.
