Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 details surface online

Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor was announced earlier this year and so far it has been found on a couple of smartphones. Now the chip maker is reportedly working on a processor with model number SM7475. The chipset’s position the Snapdragon family remains unclear however, it is expected to be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 as per leakster Roland Quandt

Snapdragon 7 Gen 2

The SM7475 could also be labelled as Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 as we have seen the case with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which is an enhanced version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The upcoming CPU is said to have a tri-cluster design with one prime, three gold, and four silver cores. The prime core will run at 2.4GHz whereas the gold is said to peak at roughly the same frequency. The silver core will be clocked at 1.8GHz. This seems to be exactly the same as Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. 

There aren’t any hardware details about the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 SoC. If it is the new chipset, we can expect new core designs. This means Cortex A715 for Prime and Gold cores and A510 for Silver cores compared to A710 and A510 on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. 

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 could come with a small performance bump but a solid improvement in efficiency. 

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit is taking place next month and the chipmaker is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at the event. Thus we can expect some details about the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 that time as well.

Xiaomi denies rumors of moving operations from India to Pakistan

Xiaomi had been facing friction in its operations in India, after facing allegations of tax evasion by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Income Tax Department and the Customs Department. Following all of this, a new rumor had suggested that the company is moving its operations from India to Pakistan. However, it appears that this rumor is false.

Xiaomi Logo Branding 2021

For those unaware, the Indian government had seized the Chinese tech giant’s assets that were valued around 5,551 crore INR. The government cited illegal remittances to three foreign based entities, which allegedly also included one Xiaomi group entity that was “in the guise of royalty.” The company has denied these accusations in the Indian high court. However, a day after this court order, a rumor surfaced regarding the brand shifting its operations from Pakistan to India.

But now, Xiaomi India has officially denied this rumor, stating that the news is “completely false & baseless.” The brand further added that “Xiaomi entered India in 2014 & in less than a year, we embarked on our Make in India journey. 99 percent of our smartphones & 100 percent of our TVs are made in India. We’ll take all measures to protect our reputation from false & inaccurate claims.”

This statement was shared on its official Indian unit’s Twitter handle. Since the seizure of assets worth over 5,551 crore INR, the company has claimed that this move has “effectively halted” its operations in the second largest smartphone market in the world. Furthermore, the Karnatake High Court has also declined to provide any relief on the seizure until the investigation is over.

With the Google Pixel 7 series launch out of the way, there are no major announcements left. Now, Samsung is set to take the spotlight for its Galaxy S23 series of flagship smartphones, with the latest leak revealing their possible color options.

Apart from the base Galaxy S23, the Plus and Ultra variant are rumored to feature larger batteries and higher resolution front facing camera.

But while we have some details regarding the internal, we now have more information regarding its outer appearance.

But going by these four options, the new colors seem quite ‘safe’ and limited.

So, the inclusion of two new colors is something to look forward to, but the lack of more options is a bit disappointing.
