Qualcomm is continuing this theme of pushing their superior modem technology by including the Snapdragon X8 LTE modem in the Snapdragon 425 processor as well. This will give unprecedented LTE performance to devices that are easily considered to be 'cheaper' phones in western worlds. This also puts competitive pressure on Samsung, MediaTek and Huawei to offer higher performance modems on their lower end of their mainstream offerings, driven by carrier pressure. The Snapdragon 410 originally brought LTE performance to their price tier and now Qualcomm is bringing next generation LTE performance to the mainstream. The Snapdragon 415, however, will still have the same LTE as the 410 with CAT 4 speeds of up to 150 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up, undoubtedly to hit a price point.
