In the realm of mobile phone maintenance, professionals in iPhone repair understand that iPhone maintenance is considerably easier than Android maintenance. The primary reason lies in the diversity of processors used in Android devices, unlike iPhones where the processor is singular. Android devices have five main processor types, including Qualcomm, MediaTek, Spreadturm, Hisilicon, and Exynos.
To address this challenge and facilitate Android phone maintenance, it’s essential to categorize the types of processors. The processor is a fundamental component of any phone, dictating the other Android circuits like memory, RAM, power, Wi-Fi, network, and others. Today, we’ll delve into Qualcomm processors.
Qualcomm, a renowned company in this domain, offers various processor series, such as 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8. The 8 series typically features flagship processors, characterized by a two-tier architecture with the processor and RAM stacked on top. On the other hand, the rest of the series usually have a single-tier architecture without integrated RAM. These series allow for customization, like connecting to ISP or compensating for specific paths, such as touch paths.
Every year, the company releases one or two processors for each series, expanding their lineup. Below is a list of processors for each series:
- SDM429
- SDM439
- SDM450
- SM4250
- SM4350
- SM4375
- SM4450
- SDM632
- SDM636
- SDM660
- SDM670
- SM6115
- SM6125
- SM6150
- SM6225

- SDM712
- SM7125
- SM7150
- SM7225
- SM7250
- SM7315
- SM7325
- SM7350
- SM7450
- SM7475
- SDM845 (RAM BGA556 LPDDR4X)
- SM8150 (RAM BGA556 LPDDR4X)
- SM8250-102 (RAM BGA556 LPDDR4X)
- SM8250-002 (RAM BGA496 LPDDR5)
- SM8350 (RAM BGA496 LPDDR5)
- SM8425 (RAM BGA496 LPDDR5)
- SM8450 (RAM BGA496 LPDDR5)
- SM8475 (RAM BGA496 LPDDR5)
- SM8550 (RAM BGA496 LPDDR5X)
The latest processor in the 8 series is the SM8550, present in many phones released this year, including the SAMSUNG S23 and FOLD 5.
