Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2: The new powerhouse for mid-range phones



A number of mid-range phones will begin to run on Qualcomm’s newest processor later this month. Among the companies using the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset are Redmi and Realme.

The chipset appears to give a significant improvement over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, while it isn’t nearly as powerful as the Qualcomm 8 Gen 2. At speeds of up to 2.91GHz, Qualcomm claims the CPU will give a performance gain of more than 50%. According to the manufacturer, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 will also provide an increase in power efficiency of 13% while also doubling GPU performance. Additionally, according to Qualcomm, “on-device AI is integrated across the entire platform.”

According to Qualcomm, you may anticipate an increase in AI performance of more than double and a 40% increase in performance per watt. According to reports, AI Super Resolution can upscale images and video game graphics from 1080p to 4K quality.

Volumetric rendering, which provides particle images like smoke and fog, is one of the additional gameplay capabilities. According to Qualcomm, auto variable rate shading should assist increase performance and power by rendering in-focus material at full resolution and keeping the background of a scene at a lesser resolution. According to the manufacturer, Qualcomm aptX and Snapdragon Sound will also provide lag-free gaming audio and lossless music streaming.

The processor offers simultaneous dual-camera HDR video capture with triple exposure and photo capture up to 200MP. With 18-bit Triple ISP support, it might be simpler to take better pictures in extremely low light. According to Qualcomm, handsets running the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 can take 30 shots and combine the best elements into one to give you photos that are brighter, clearer, and more colourful.

With regard to connectivity, the new X62 5G modem supports dual SIMs for 4G and 5G and offers data network transfer speeds of up to 4.4 Gbps. When it comes to WiFi, Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 would allow download speeds of up to 3.6 GB/s.
