What Chipset Does My Phone Have? - Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently purchased a Zenfone 2 Laser from Amazon. I know there are two base models, a 2Gb of RAM with a Snapdragon 410, and a 3gb of RAM Snapdragon 615 Chipset phone. The 3GB version comes in a 16GB and 32GB model. From what the details on Amazon listed I have the 3GB RAM, 16gb storage version of the 615. Doing a quick check through the app Droid Info (I know there are better ones, just first that popped up), I noticed that it lists the chipset as the MSM 8939/Snapdragon 615, but it has a clock of 1.5ghz, and it also lists the board as a msm8916, which is a Snapdragon 410.
So which is it? The phone is listed as having 8 cores as well. So I'm inclined to think it is the 615 not the 410.
Thoughts?

Mine mentions this as well and it was a little confusing but there are 8 cores so I believe Asus may have used the same boards with different processors attached.

Snapdragon 400 Cuad vs Snapdragon S4 Pro

Simple question, I purchased a Moto G GPE and its on its way but i have the curiosity about how the SOC Snapdragon 400 Cuad Core compares to something like the S4 Pro that was in the Nexus 4 which ran great. I know its a newer chip but i havent found any real evidence whether the architecture is superior or inferior to the S4 Pro since it was a flagship chip but the 400 is budget. Anyone has any insight on this? Thanks.
best way to compare the two.

Snapdragon 400 is positioned more like S4 Plus, not Pro. As in marketing positioning.
Speaking in technical terms however, those two SoCs have a completely differnet architecture. S4 Plus always has Krait cores, while our S400 has Cortex-A7 cores, which is generally somewhat slower than Krait, partially because Krait is an Out-of-Order architecture, while Cortex-A7 is In-Order.
In terms of cores S4 Plus always had two cores (up to 1,5 GHz), while our S400 has four cores @ 1,2 GHz.
Now go figure what´s faster. I´d personally prefer two Kraits
Note: Qualcom had really messed up the naming in S400 series as the chips can contain either two Krait cores or four Cortex-A7 cores. Don´t get me wrong, Cortex-A7 is a great architecture , mostly because its performance/power consumption ratio, but the SoCs containg those cores should have been labeled as Snapdragon 350 or something like that.

[Q] buying s4?

Hello,
i want a amoled screen for my next phone, with complete options, infrared, nfc, wirless charging (it optional but exist), 2 Gb og ram, removable battery, sd card slot, and for its accesoiry.. etc
i think that s4 answer to my needs.
But, i hesitate because of stocks updates, its 2013 models, and become old!
My question is if s4 is still worth this position on the 2015, and if there is equivalent new phone (full option) to him, for 300 euro budget
Thank for your answers and sorry for english

GT-I9515 (GALAXY S4 VE) in my opinion :highfive:.
Well, the S4 GT-I9506 seems to have hardware that can somewhat match the latest models
S4 GT-I9506 specs:
Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800
CPU : Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400
GPU : Adreno 330
Internal 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM
And in comparison, the S5 specs:
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801
CPU Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400
GPU Adreno 330
Internal 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM
As you can see, there is not a huge difference. The newer chipset model and 200Hz more processing power. But I don't think those 200Hz will make any big impact on performance. If it's going to be any performance differences then it's because of the newer chipset and maybe ram speeds.
Though the normal S4 GT-I9505 is still a good competitor today. Many people still use it as you can probably see by the activity on this forum.
It can still keep up with today's requirements. And it will for another 1-2 years at least.
If developers made apps only for the high-end smartphones then only those who can afford those kind of phones can use the app. And that's just not profitable for them, right?

[Q] 6GB/8GB smartphones ?

Like OnePlus 5
is the 8GB version = 4GB + 4GB of RAM ? or Single 8GB ?
and 6GB version, is it 2GB + 4GB ? or single 6GB ?
the qualcomm 835 page does not tell any useful-related info to this question
neither OnePlus 5 specs page
they only show:
Memory Speed
1866MHz
Memory Type
Dual-Channel
LPDDR4x
I don't understand your question... it has 6GB or 8GB of RAM, what difference does it make if it's two 4GB chips or 8GB (or four 2GB chips), or a 2GB and 4GB or a single 6GB chip (or three 2GB chips)? If you are referring to the "dual-channel" thing, then you should look into what that technology is, but it could easily be implemented in a single chip if it was specifically designed for that. Mobiles rarely use "off the shelf" components and are chips are often specifically designed for applications as needed.
This is pretty much off topic for this area anyway, probably more appropriate to ask in the OnePlus 5 group.

Blackberry KEYone Black Edition (India) UFS storage and LPDDR4 or not?

Hey guys,
Really need a favor. For those who own a Blackberry KEYone Black Edition (Indian variant), can you check and see if it uses an LPDDR4 RAM and UFS based storage. Blackberry doesn't seem to reveal that part
You can check that info using the DevCheck application, under the hardware section, or a similar app that can tell the real hardware info. Reason m asking is because the original, silver KEYone uses the slower LPDDR3 and eMMc storage.
I want to urgently know if its just a space increase or that Blackberry has also changed the type of memory...no one seems to even talk about it or mention it. It's really urgent guys and won't take more than few minutes to check that.
Nah, i don't think so. Since 625 doesn't support LPDDR4 and UFS 2.0, even if it supports - the higher RAM frequency won't help much, small margin will be advantaged for the GPU.
The 625 isn't that a new SoC at all since it's been released in 2016, using older DSP resulting in LTE Cat 7 300Mbps at max too, shame :'(. I wonder if the KeyOne is LTE Cat 9 450Mbps, but i don't reckon so.

what is the MTK 5760B Processor?

Found a headunit on ali, and the specs say it uses an MTK processor I wasn't able to find any info.
They claim the processor is an MTK 5760B Processor, Octa Core 2.5 GHz . Does this even exist?
Here's a link to the actual device if it matters (it's the 8gb model):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004275908437.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.2e9b8588OQYHq5&algo_pvid=52dc1554-fd09-426a-9677-22d515a5958e&algo_exp_id=52dc1554-fd09-426a-9677-22d515a5958e-0&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000028597734052%22%7D&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21CAD%21664.1%21451.58%21%21%21%21%21%40211bd93f16757935828566584d0717%2112000028597734052%21sea%21CA%21131826539&curPageLogUid=1I5QuJfeOB7t
I guess it's a fantasy name
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stions-couldnt-find-any-info-about-it.4171219
The fact that the processor cannot be identified alone should be enough to inform to avoid the unit entirely.
