The included Spectra 250L ISP makes the 678 capable of capturing unlimited 4K images and videos up to 48 megapixels. It can also support dual camera systems up to 16 megapixels. It also comes with built-in support for all the usual photography features you’ve come to expect, including portrait mode, 5x optical zoom, and low-light shooting.

When it comes to connectivity, the 678 includes the same X12 LTE modem that came with the 675, but Qualcomm has added support for a feature called License Assisted Access (LAA) that takes advantage of the license-free 5 GHz spectrum in combination with aggregation. of carriers to increase capacity. Under ideal conditions, you will still get fast download speeds, and Qualcomm claims that the X12 can offer theoretical download speeds of up to 600 Mbps. However, the X12 will not allow you to connect to any 5G networks. Rounding out the connectivity package, the 678 comes with support for 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0.

The Snapdragon 675 mainly found its way into phones from Chinese OEMs like Xiaomi and Oppo. It came to North America thanks to phones like the Motorola Moto Z4. The fact that the 678 does not include 5G connectivity may limit its appeal, as most North American carriers are trying to sell the benefits of their 5G networks to consumers.
