Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 platform with a 5nm processor that is around 20 per cent faster than last year’s S20, is the beating heart of the S21 and includes the 5G modem and camera logic and which makes Samsung’s latest addition to its Galaxy portfolio many hundreds of times more powerful than a 1970’s Super Computer.
