In November 2022, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. The US-based chip company has now confirmed that it will announce a new Snapdragon mobile platform on March 17 in Beijing, China. In all likelihood, the company may unveil the rumored Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 1 chipset.
Several reports have revealed that Qualcomm is working on two Snapdragon 7-series chipsets. The SoC with part number SM7550 is expected to launch in the second half of this year and is likely to be called the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2. The chip that is scheduled to break cover on March 17 is said to have the SM7475 part number. Speculation is rife that this chip will be called the Snapdragon 7 Plus 1.
Rumors are rife that brands like Redmi, Realme, Honor, Oppo, and Vivo will launch Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 1-powered phones in the near future. It is speculated that the Redmi Note 12T Turbo and Realme GT Neo 5 SE could be the first phones to feature it. The Note 12 Turbo is said to get rebadged as the Poco F5 in the global market. Hence, it may arrive as the first Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 1 phone for markets outside of China.
Reports have claimed that the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 1 will be a 4nm chipset manufactured by TSMC. As far as configurations is concerned, it is said to have a Cortex-X2 prime core working at 2.95GHz, three Cortex-A510 cores clocking at 2.5GHz, and four Cortex-A710 cores working at 1.8GHz. For graphics, the chipset is equipped with a 580 Hz Adreno 725 GPU. The SoC was spotted with a score of 1,029,731 on AnTuTu benchmarks last month. On Geekbench, the chipset scored 1215 and 4064 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.
