It has not been long since Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 specs emerged in a leaked data sheet, giving us insights on what to expect from the processor aimed for the flagship devices. Now we know that it is not the only processor in the works, as the company has been working on a platform focusing on the mid-range devices under the Snapdragon 7 lineup hood. Now a new official announcement is doing the rounds and giving us some critical details of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset.
Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Mobile Platform has been announced and is coming to mid-range Samsung Galaxy phones
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 chip in March, which is meant to be a blend of premium and mid-range features. The latest Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 platform marks a new SoC in the series that targets mid-tier devices and is packed up with significant capabilities compared to its successor, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. The chipset is expected to power Samsung Galaxy smartphones, and the series might not be the only one powered by the new processor, as many other companies are teaming up to use the latest chipset.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset can be considered a subdued version of the 7 Plus in the lineup, but it is meant to offer some of the same AI capabilities at an affordable range. It is packed with improved AI performance from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and the capability to support multiple LLM models.
As Qualcomm suggests, the new SoC based on a 4nm process setup, has a 20 percent improved CPU performance over the previous chipset, and the Adreno GPU aims to drastically improve performance. It is also energy efficient, as the Kryo CPU saves on power almost double times more than the predecessor.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset has a 1+3+4 core confirmation, a prime core clocking at 2.5GHz, three performance cores at 2.4GHz, and efficiency up at 1.8GHz clock speed. The camera setup will also see some vital upgrades, with capabilities to handle triple-camera layouts up to 21MP. The processor can handle 200MP snapshots and delivers 4K HDR videos with the help of 4K sHDR and the 12-bit triple ISP it features.
The new processor is also expanding on its connectivity support with Wi-Fi 6E and 5G networks that help extend to more bandwidths than the predecessor. The Qualcomm 7s Gen 3 is expected to be adopted by Realme, Samsung, and Sharp, with Xiaomi being the first device for it to be launched in September.
