If we take into consideration the Android smartphones market, Samsung Exynos 9810, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and Kirin 970 are the best processors ever announced in the past few months. Exynos 9810 will power the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 in its European version, Kirin 970 is aboard Huawei Mate 10 and 10 Pro and it will also be aboard the Huawei P20, while Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 will power the other most important flagship phones of 2018. Which one is the best SoC? Here you can see a Exynos 9810 vs Snapdragon 845 vs Kirin 970 comparison between their specs.

Connectivity	Dual Band Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac with MU-MIMO. Bluetooth 5.0, NFC Cellular Modem: LTE Cat. 18 6CA up to 1.2 Gbps (download), LTE Cat. 18 2CA up to 200 Mbps (upload)	Dual Band Wi-Fi 2×2 802.11ad Multi-Gigabit with MU-MIMO. Bluetooth 5.0, NFC Cellular Modem: Snapdragon X20 LTE, up to 1.2 Gbps Mbps download speed, up to 150 Mbps upload speed	Dual Band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with 4×4 MIMO Bluetooth 4.2, NFC Cellular Modem: LTE Cat. 18 up to 1.2 Gbps download speed
Audio	32 bit/384 kHz quality	Qualcomm Aqstic audio technology Qualcomm aptX	32 bit/384 kHz quality
Location	GPS, GLONASS, Beidou	GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS Low Power Geofencing and Tracking, Sensor-assisted navigation	GPS, GLONASS, BDS
Battery Charging	Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge, Fast Wireless Charging (Qi and PMA)	Qualcomm Quick Charge 4/4+	Fast battery charging

Each of these SoCs have octa-core architecture and has a dedicated chip for artificial intelligence and deep learning. The first difference that is possible to notice is the clock frequency. Exynos 8910 has the highest max frequency, but Snapdragon 845 has a max frequency of 2.8 GHz for each of its cores, while Exynos 9810 has a 2.9 GHz frequency only for 4 cores. Kirin 970 has the lowest frequency with 2.4 GHz. Each SoC has a modem that can reach a download speed of 1.2 Gbps, but Exynos 9810 has the highest upload speed with 200 Mbps.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 845 has a GPU that’s likely better: the Adreno 630. Further, Snapdragon 845 will probably provide more modding options. If I had to pick one, I would personally choose the Snapdragon 845 by Qualcomm, but that is mostly for personal tasks, as Samsung Exynos 9810 is as excellent as its opponent. I define Kirin 970 slightly inferior to both its opponents, but note that Huawei devices with this processor are more affordable.
