The Snapdragon 617 chipset itself will arrive with an octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU that has been clocked at up to 1.5 GHz, accompanied by the Adreno 405 GPU, a Hexagon 546 DSP, as well as Qualcomm’s very own X8 LTE modem that is capable of hitting Cat.7 speeds.
The €706.64 price will include VAT, which more or less translates to an asking price of $800, where you can opt from a quartet of colors – Topaz Gold, Deep Garnet, Opal Silver, and Carbon Grey. Of course, we will keep this figure with a pinch of salt, as retailers more often than not do not know the actual price before an official product release, so it could just be a placeholder. Ah well, time will eventually tell, as always.
