![]() ![]() The Carbon 1 Mk II is equipped with a MediaTek Helio P90 it is an upper mid-range SoC that you would rather expect in a smartphone for 300 - 500 Euros. It is heavily recessed in the casing, but it can still be operated fairly well and unlocks the smartphone quite quickly. Instead, the fingerprint sensor is located there, below the quite small standby button. There is a strange indentation on the casing's right, so we first thought it was a recess for an unused button. With 256 GB, the smartphone offers a lot of storage, but only comparatively slow UFS 2.1 flash NFC is on board, so you can also use mobile payment services. Thus, the Carbon 1 Mk II only achieves about 50% of the transmission performance of other smartphones in this price range. In terms of Wi-Fi, there is only Wi-Fi 5, which is a bit annoying in view of the price point. By the way, the smartphone does not come with a charger. The smartphone is stable despite its quite thin build of 6.3 mm. The screen is protected by modern Gorilla Glass 7 (Victus), which is also particularly thin at 0.4 mm according to the manufacturer. The casing is protected according to IP65, so it can withstand dust and stronger splash water. We like the fact that Carbon Mobile moves away from the standard design with rounded corners and presents an angular smartphone that also looks chic due to the carbon fiber structure on the back However, you also have to take into account the significantly smaller battery in view of most comparison devices. The casing is quite compact with a 6.01-inch screen and surprisingly light at 125 grams. So they worked on it until they found their own, radio-capable carbon composite material and used it to build a very light yet robust smartphone: The Carbon 1 Mk II from Carbon Mobile, which we will take a look at in this review. And only a few materials are really suitable for this purpose.Ĭarbon is not really one of them. The process offers a 7% higher performance or 10% less power consumption compared to the old N7 process.Īdreno 650 GPU, Spectra 480 ISP, LPDDR5 2750 MHz / LPDDR4X 2133 MHz Memory ControllerĤx ARM Cortex-A75, 4x ARM Cortex-A55, LPDDR4x-1866 Dual Channel, UFS 2.1, LTE Cat-12 DL/ Cat-13 UL, Wi-Fi 5, BT 5.Why do smartphones always have to be made of plastic? Or made of metal and glass? That's exactly the question the start-up Carbon Mobile asked itself and quickly found the answer: A large number of radio signals must be able to pass through the material to the outside: Be it for mobile communications, WLAN, positioning or near-field communication. The Snapdragon 865 is manufactured at TSMC in the new improved 7nm process ( N7P, DUV-based). The built-in memory controller now supports LPDDR5 with up to 2,750 MHz and LPDDR4X with 2,133 MHz. The integrated Computer Vision Engine (CV-ISP) now supports Dolby Vision, 8K videos and 200 megapixel photos. The Spectra 480 ISP is now also significantly faster. The on board Hexagon 698 DSP now offers an improved KI performance of up to 15 TOPS (up from 7 TOPS in the 855) and still uses a combination of CPU, GPU, HVX and Tensor cores. The integrated GPU is now called Adreno 650 and should offer 20% more performance than the Adreno 640 in the Snapdragon 855. Bluetooth 5.1 is also supported including aptX Adaptive. The Wi-Fi module however is still integrated and called FastConnect 6800 with support for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and 8x8 MU-MIMU and 60 GHz 802.11ay with up to 10 Gbps. Single thread, however is still a strong suit of the Apple SoCs.Ĭompared to the previous generations, the Snapdragon 865 does not integrate an LTE modem anymore, but has to be paired with the new X55 5G modem, that also supports LTE Cat 24/22. In some multi-core workloads, the SD865 can even perform on par with the Apple A13 SoC. Therefore, the Snapdragon 865 takes the top spot in mobile processors for Android based systems. The difference to the older Snapdragon 855 is the switch from Cortex-A76 to the faster Cortex-A77 architecture. These are complemented by four power-saving ARM Cortex-A55 cores that clock up to a maximum of 1.8 GHz. The SoC integrates a fast ‘Prime Core’ that clocks up to 2.84 GHz and three further fast ARM Cortex-A77 performance cores, which can reach up to 2.42 GHz. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform is a high-end smartphone and tablet SoC that Qualcomm announced in December 2019. Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 ► remove from comparison
