Both chipsets introduce Snapdragon Smooth Motion UI. At the height of war, there were Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets, engaged in heated battle against Apple’s A-series mobile chips. But behind the scenes, a few key players had controlled the chips for “all the other” mobile devices; the affordable phones, non-flagships, entry-level, billions of users - with UNISOC being an integral competitor. Since telecom wasn’t globally standardized at the time and China had its own 3G networks that global manufacturers found difficult to support, the company sought to develop a chipset that solved these issues. They succeeded at this and quickly became the go-to of the country’s largest telecom provider, China Mobile. Their growth continued when they set up a one-stop-shop for all mobile device internals at a time when manufacturers had to source the CPU, modem, and GPS chips separately. Spreadtrum continued supplying chipsets to entry-level and midrange devices globally. To put things into perspective, it neared the performance of the famed Snapdragon 700-series chipsets, rather than compete against its price-like 600s.
