The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 has a faster base-clock speed and better graphics. It also holds an edge in RAM compatibility, but the Snapdragon 695 5G has better Bluetooth connectivity.
Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs Snapdragon 695 5G: Geekbench Scores
To compare the benchmarks between the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 and the Snapdragon 695, we have used reference data from the POCO M6 Pro and the Moto G34, respectively. Here’s a comparison of Geekbench scores:
The Snapdragon 695 has a slightly better single-core performance. Both chipsets have almost similar scores for multi-core performance with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 having a slight edge.
Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs Snapdragon 695 5G: AnTuTu Scores
The Snapdragon 695 5G SoC has a comparatively better AnTuTu score than the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. However, the margin is so small that a conclusive winner is hard to pick between the two. AnTuTu benchmarks indicate that both processors offer similar performance, if not the same.
Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs Snapdragon 695 5G: Verdict
Despite a launch gap of two years between the Snapdragon 695 5G and the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processors, the performance difference is insignificant between them. However, the compatibility for better RAM and faster storage on the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 can result in better real-world performance over extended usage, say 2-3 years. Hence, if you are looking at two devices within the same budget, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is a wiser choice.
