Overview

  • The 4nm platform uses a 1+3+4 Kryo CPU with a prime core up to 2.7 GHz and delivers roughly 7% faster CPU and GPU performance versus 7s Gen 3.
  • New display support extends to WFHD+ resolutions up to 2,900 × 1,300 at 144Hz, expanding options for ultra-wide screens.
  • A subset of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features arrives, including Game Super Resolution and Adaptive Performance Engine 3.0 rather than the newer 4.0.
  • On-device AI covers small LLMs such as Llama 1B and Qwen 1B via the Hexagon NPU, enabling real-time translation, transcription, and noise reduction.
  • Imaging and power staples persist with support for 200-megapixel photos and Quick Charge 4+, and Qualcomm has not announced which phones will ship with the chip.
