better one. That seems to be the theme with this new chip, which promises to make many features on phones "better."
Your smartphone may soon be getting a smart upgrade.
Qualcomm has announced the launch of its new Snapdragon Series 7 Gen 3 chip, which it said will first be used in Honor and Vivo phones. The new chipset "offers comprehensive advancements to inspire on-device artificial intelligence," the company said in a press release.
Qualcomm said that the new Snapdragon 7 chip's CPU peak speed is as high as 2.63GHz, GPU performance is improved by more than 50%, and its AI capabilities are increased by 60% per watt while maintaining low power consumption. For you, this means upgrading the functions and features you use most without sacrificing a ton of your device's battery life.
"By working closely with our OEM partners, we are able to help consumers gain wider access to next-generation in-demand features, such as enhanced artificial intelligence and extraordinary camera capabilities," said Christopher Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of Qualcomm mobile phones. the manager said in a news release.
The new chipset will make AI camera applications more possible. For example, it supports up to 200 MP and has an AI Remosaic function that can help eliminate discoloration, reduce image noise, and support photos taken in dim environments.
It also means better gaming capabilities, with better graphics rendering, smart upscaling, and spatial audio tracking. On top of this, 5G offers download speeds of up to 5 Gbps and improved location accuracy, which can be used to improve navigation apps and more.
Quick Charge 5 technology will also improve charging performance. Qualcomm promises that devices running the chipset will be able to charge from 0% to 50% in five minutes, and consume 20% less power on the CPU and GPU.
Qualcomm says the first devices to use the new Snapdragon Series 7 Gen 3 chips will come from Honor and Vivo, whose launch should happen sometime this month.
