The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC has been in the market for a while now. Qualcomm released the high-end SoC at the tail of last year with 5G internet support. Having been available for nearly seven months, the SoC now hosts so many smartphones. That has made the list of Snapdragon 765G phones a long one, but we are going to reveal the affordable ones from the bunch.
It’s imperative to know that Snapdragon 765 and 765G are the same processor. The only difference between the two is the overlocked cores on the SD 765G ( from 2.4Hz to 2.4Hz), and the gaming features. That’s what the ‘G’ actually stands for. With that, you should go for the SD 765G powered device if you want the best experience gaming with your device. Below is the list of affordable Snapdragon 765G phones.
