Qualcomm has announced a new mid-range processor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Despite its name, the chipset does not look like an upgrade over the the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. It might in fact be a less powerfull version. The new processor features a Kryo CPU with four high-performance cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and four power-efficient cores clocked at 1.95 GHz. It is set to debut in the Redmi Note 13 Pro smartphone on September 21st.
Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a 4nm processor, featuring Kryo CPU with four high-performance 2.4 GHz cores and four power-efficient 1.95 GHz cores. It brings an unspecified Adreno GPU, which is apparently capable of handling FHD+ visuals at a 144Hz refresh rate.
The chipset supports up to 12GB of lightning-fast 3200MHz LPDDR5 memory and the snappy UFS 4.0 flash memory. With the Snapdragon X62 5G modem, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 offers a peak rate of 2.9Gbps and support for 5G millimeter wave technology. It brings the FastConnect 6700 system, which offers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Navigation technology in the processor includes support for multiple positioning systems, including QZSS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC, GLONASS, and GPS, with L1/L5 dual-band positioning.
In terms of camera features, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 brings Qualcomm Spectra 12-bit ISP, which enables triple-camera simultaneous shooting and supports impressive features like 200-megapixel photography and 4K video recording at 30 frames per second. There’s also support for AI noise reduction. Elsewhere, the chipset comes with Snapdragon Smooth Listening technology offering clear audio for your calls and media consumption.
Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 might offer many mid-range phones launching later this year. The benchmarking scores of the chip are not available yet so we can’t comment on its performance.
