Qualcomm is set to release a new SoC, the SM7475 CPU, that will power the upcoming sub-premium smartphones. Lu Weibing, Xiaomi Group Vice President and General Manager of the Redmi brand, recently teased the new processor but did not provide many details. However, Digital Chat Station has revealed more information about the new SoC, including the possibility that it will arrive as an underclocked Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Despite the lower clock speeds, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 is expected to outperform MediaTek’s Dimensity 8200. Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 will be manufactured on TSMC’s 4nm fabrication node.
According to Digital Chat Station, multiple smartphone brands are lined up to launch their smartphones with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 chipset, and we could see the launch of the first smartphone powered by the SM7475 chipset by the end of this month.
