However, the chipset’s CPU clock speeds appear to confirm that Fairphone has opted for the Snapdragon 782G, a refreshed Snapdragon 778G series part. Although Qualcomm does not acknowledge as much in its product overviews, the Snapdragon 782G carries the part number SM7325-AF, putting it in the same overarching family as the Snapdragon 778G (SM7325). In short, the Snapdragon 782G is an overclocked Snapdragon 778G with boosted CPU and GPU performance as a result.
The Fairphone 5 will also be available with 8 GB of RAM. It is unclear whether this will be the base RAM configuration though; Fairphone sells its predecessor with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. Overall, the Fairphone 5 should deliver a healthy performance improvement over its predecessor. For example, the comparable Snapdragon 778G enjoys roughly a 20% advantage over the Snapdragon 750G that powers the Fairphone 4. As it stands, Android Authority expects Fairphone to deliver its fifth-generation smartphone within the next few months.
