Qualcomm has for several years enjoyed dominance of the flagship and midrange mobile chip segments but in recent times, MediaTek has staged a comeback with several impressive products including 5G chipsets. In its bid to continue to maintain its market leadership, Qualcomm has been releasing several mobile processors in quick succession. The US company is now rumoured to be planning to launch a new mid-range SoC known a Snapdragon 732G in September. 
According to a Twitter tipster, the chipset utilises two Kyro 430 Gold and six Kyro 470 Silver cores clocked at 2.3GHz and 1.8 GHz, respectively. The processor will also have an Adreno 618 GPU. The leaker also adds that the Snapdragon 732G will be a 4G-only chip. The non-inclusion of a 5G modem may be to save cost. The source also added that the new SoC will be released alongside an under-$300 smartphone in Vietnam this September.

Release very soon and a phone with Snapdragon 732G will on sale in Vietnam in September, priced under $300— Chun (@Boby25846908) August 12, 2020
The rumoured Snapdragon 732G will likely be an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 730G. The SD730 comes with a similar architecture, that is 2x Kryo 470 Gold (based on Cortex-A76) cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 6x Kryo 470 Silver (based on Cortex-A55) clocked at 1.8GHz. The difference is the higher clocking speed of the large cores on the unannounced chipset. The chip will also reportedly come with better AI comparability.
We can’t say for sure if this rumour has any credibility but we expect the slight improvement t translate to better performance in gaming and everyday use for smartphones that would utilise the chip.
