The Next Big Chip for Mid-Range Phones

Qualcomm has launched its new mobile processor, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, and it’s full of upgrades. It brings faster speeds, smarter AI handling, and better gaming performance. Phones with this chip are expected to arrive later this month.

This chip is made for people who want strong performance without buying a very expensive smartphone. It powers mid-range phones but brings high-end features.

Big Boosts in Speed and Smarts

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 improves CPU speed by 27% and GPU speed by 30% over the older Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. Even more exciting, AI performance gets a huge 65% boost. This means your phone can understand voice commands better, take smarter photos, and even run AI tools without needing the cloud.

Stronger Core Design for Everyday Use

The chip has eight cores:

• 1 Prime core runs up to 2.8 GHz.
• 4 Performance cores go up to 2.4 GHz.
• 3 Efficiency cores handle light tasks at 1.8 GHz.

This setup allows phones to multitask easily while saving battery life.

Ready for the Future: Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is ready for the newest wireless tech. It supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. These give faster internet and smoother connections for devices like earbuds and smartwatches.

Also, it can use fast UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5x RAM. This means apps open faster and games load quickly.

Qualcomm XPAN Adds a New Touch

A new feature in this chip is Qualcomm XPAN. It is a special tech that lets your phone connect better with nearby devices. For example, your phone could share data faster with your smartwatch, tablet, or other gadgets around you.

When Will We See Phones With It?

Smartphones using the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 will likely hit the market later this month. These phones will bring many premium features to the mid-tier range.

This launch shows that mid-range phones are no longer basic. They are getting smart, powerful, and future-ready, just like flagship models.
