  • Integrated 3G 📶
  • Up to 720p display output 📺
  • 3D graphics rendering 🎮
  • Support for a 12MP camera 📸

Why it was special?

Back in 2007, most processors were around 500 MHz. The QSD8250 doubled that with 1 GHz speed, setting a new benchmark for mobile performance. This leap opened doors for smoother smartphones, better gaming, and sharper displays.

👉 Imagine — what was groundbreaking in 2007 is now considered basic, but it was the foundation for the powerful Snapdragon chips we use today 💪.
