CPU

The Snapdragon 765 is not much of a major improvement in CPU performance when compared to the Snapdragon 730.
There is a new “Prime” CPU core cluster consisting of a lone core clocked at up to 2.3GHz(2.4GHz for 765G).
A lone “Performance” core clocked at up to 2.2GHz. based on customized Kryo 475 architecture(ARM Cortec A-76).
Then there are 6 ARM Cortex-A55-based Efficiency CPU cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz.
The transition from an 8nm manufacturing process to a 7nm manufacturing process is sure to give in some more, CPU power efficiency

GPU

The Adreno 620 GPU in the Snapdragon 765 supposedly offers 20% better performance and efficiency compared to the Adreno 618 GPU in the Snapdragon 730.
In 765G there are additional benefits like Select Snapdragon Elite Gaming Features and 15% speed binned
Also, there is support for HDR10+ in the Adreno 620 As compared to the 4K HDR10 PQ on The Adreno 618

AI

There is Qualcomm’s Hexagon 696 AI processor a 5th Gen AI engine on the Snapdragon 765 and 765G as compared to the Hexagon 688 a 4th gen AI Engine on snapdragon 730 and 730G.
Also, there is a new feature called Qualcomm Sensing Hub on Snapdragon 765 and 765G

Display

One of The Biggest Difference Between the Snapdragon 730 and 765 is the ease of FHD+ 120 Hz display, even though the snapdragon 730 supports FHD+ 120 Hz display due to GPU bounding it was not possible to get the best out of it, so manufactures never really tried putting a 120Hz display on a snapdragon 730 phone but on 765G it is possible to have the FHD+ 120Hz display and is not bounded by the GPU, plus the Snapdragon 765 Also has UHD+ 60Hz display support

Memory

The snapdragon 765 supports LPDDR4X up to 12 GB of RAM at 2133 MHz, as compared to the LPDDR4 up to 8GB at 1866 MHz on Snapdragon 730,
The LPDDR4X is more efficient than the LPDDR4 thus resulting in less battery consumption and that increase in frequency can also add in performance

Camera/ISP

Not Much is different in terms of Camera as the megapixel count and properties remain same but due to a better processor there should be a difference in post-processing of the image thus better image quality is expected from the Snapdragon 765
One main difference is Slow-motion videos, 720p videos at 480fps compared to the Spectra 350’s [email protected] support. In addition, the Spectra 355 adds support for video capture in HDR10+.

Modem

The Biggest Difference between the Snapdragon 730 and 765 is the 5G support
the Snapdragon X52 Dual LTE and 5G modem on the Snapdragon 765 is capable of 5G and supports both the mmWave and Sub 6Ghz band, but in India, there are very low chances of getting 5G in upcoming years
But even in LTE Download/Upload Speeds, the Snapdragon X52 is much ahead of the Snapdragon X15 LTE on the Snapdragon 730
Snapdragon 765 Download/Upload(LTE) : up to 1.2 Gbps/210 Mbps
Snapdragon 730 Download/Upload(LTE) : up to 800 Mbps/150 Mbps
clearly the speed on snapdragon 765 is much better than the Snapdragon 730

Battery

Not Much is different in charging support, both have Qualcomm quick charge 4+ tech on them
but the Snapdragon 765 has the Qualcomm quick charge AI support which according to Qualcomm when Compared to the Snapdragon 730, a device with the Snapdragon 765 will last for up to 200 more battery life cycles

Manufacturing process

The snapdragon 765 is based on 7nm process from Samsung, while the 730 was based on 8nm also from Samsung,
A smaller manufacturing process means more battery efficiency and more battery life
while getting more powerful as the amount of transistor can be increased

Benchmarks

Now on to the Benchmarks, The Snapdragon 765G is way ahead of the 730,
there is a significant difference between the 765G and the Helio G90T,
with the 765G being ahead of the G90T, but is still behind the Snapdragon 845 a 2-year old flagship From Qualcomm

Conclusion

The Snapdragon 765G seems to be complete mid-range package, with great performance, great camera support, and great Display support and much more, With the support from the Benchmarks, is a worthy successor to the Snapdragon 730 and 730G
