Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC during its Snapdragon Tech Summit in December last year. Now, the SoC manufacturing company is reportedly working on a new chip called Snapdragon 6 Gen 1.
Qualcomm will be launching a Snapdragon 6 series chip with
the same naming convention as its predecessor, suggests new leaks.
A reliable leakster Evan Blass has leaked the complete specs
sheet of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, which tells that it is a 4nm chip having
part number SM6450.
The new chipset supports 5G networks and Qualcomm’s Quick
Charge 4+ technology. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC consists of a Kryo CPU clocked
at up to 2.2GHz, but the number of cores is unknown.
This chip can support displays with up to FullHD+ resolution
and 120Hz screen refresh rate and let users take pictures with a 108MP camera.
The smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will also
be able to record 4K HDR videos at 30 FPS and slow-mo videos at 240 FPS.
The image shared by Blass says 240 FPS slow-mo video
recording can be done in 270p, which could be a typo, and the actual resolution
could be 720p.
There’s no word from Qualcomm about the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1
yet. Still, it might go official alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship chip
at this year’s Snapdragon Summit, which will be hosted in Hawaii between
November 15-17. However, Qualcomm could also announce it before the 8 Gen 2.
Last year, Qualcomm launched three chipsets based on the 4nm
manufacturing process under the new naming scheme – Snapdragon 8 Gen 1,
Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
