Ingenuity had a Snapdragon, but there was also a redundant pair of arm r5f microcontrollers (which are also lockstepped dual-core processors, so quadruple redundancy) where the flight controllers were, and a rad-tolerant FPGA (proasic) that watchdogged everything else. The Snapdragon was used for less critical code such as imaging and comms.

Also, thanks to the thin atmosphere and lack of a magnetic field Mars's surface is about 50 times more radioactive than the Earth's, but it's still no as bad as space out past the Van Allen belts
