The Snapdragon 835 is the flagship chip for the year no doubt, but for mid-range phones, the Snapdragon 660 is the chip to look forward to. The Qualcomm chip built on Samsung’s 14nm LPP node is expected to power phones like the Nokia 7 and Nokia 8.  Adding to that list is the OPPO R6051, a new device which has showed up on GFXBench.

The OPPO R6051 is a 5.5-inch phone with a 1920 × 1080 resolution. There is a Qualcomm octa-core CPU said to be the SD660 clocked at 2.2GHz and an Adreno 510 GPU under the hood. We were initially shocked to see that the Snapdragon 660 uses the Adreno 510 GPU and not the Adreno 512 as previously reported. But after comparing the results to that of the OPPO R9s Plus which is also powered by the same GPU, the difference is as clear as night and day.

The R6051 gets 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and surprisingly runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat. OPPO fans should be excited at that last bit seeing as the recently announced OPPO F3 Plus runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and the OPPO R9, R9 Plus and F1 are also just getting updated to Android 6.0!!!

As is typical of OPPO, the cameras usually get all the attention. There is a 16MP sensor on the rear that sadly doesn’t shoot in 4K and a 20MP camera up front that also records only in 1080p. We can’t tell if any of these are dual cameras since benchmark sites don’t indicate that.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 is the new king of the mid-range chips. Manufactured using Samsung’s 14nm LPP node technology, the new SoC will take over from the Snapdragon 652 and 653 processors. The Snapdragon 660 was recently benchmarked on AntuTu and the scores are not disappointing. However, there was no info available about the device used for the test, until today.

New photos posted online have revealed the specifications of the phone used for the benchmark. The test device is equipped with a 2K display, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. The phone actually sports dual rear cameras but the Antutu details lists it as being a 12MP sensor. The device also runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat with a February 5, 2017 security patch level.

These are pretty impressive specifications for a mid-range device. Combine them with the Snapdragon 660, give it an affordable price and it is a winner.

The Snapdragon 660 processor is an octa-core chip consisting of eight custom Kryo CPU cores in a 4 + 4 combination. Four of the cores are clocked at 2.2GHz while the remaining four are clocked at 1.9GHz. There is an integrated Adreno 512 GPU and the chip also supports UFS 2.1 storage and X10 LTE baseband.

A leaked image released back in January lists the Snapdragon 660 as being present in the Redmi Pro 2 which is rumored to launch later this month. We have also heard conflicting reports saying the phone will sport a Helio P25 processor. Whatever happens, still expect the new chip to show up in devices later this year.
