Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Mobile Platform (SM7435-AB), a new chipset for mobile devices. With the announcement of this SoC, there are now three models in the Snapdragon 7 series; the other two of which are Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2.
However, the chipset announced today is neither related to the other two models in the series nor is the first generation of this SoC available. So, it’s unclear why the company calls this chipset “Gen 2”.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is manufactured with Samsung Foundry’s 4nm manufacturing process. According to the company, the processor features Kryo CPU cores that can go up to 2.4 GHz. The company has neither disclosed how many CPU cores the chipset has nor the exact model of those CPU cores. According to multiple sources on the internet, there are four performance CPU cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four efficiency CPU cores clocked at 1.95GHz.
According to Qualcomm, the chipset features an Adreno GPU, but once again the company has not revealed the exact model of the graphics unit. The specs page states that it can run Full HD+ displays at a 144Hz refresh rate, and it supports LPDDR5 RAM with speeds up to 3,200MHz. On the imaging front, there’s a Qualcomm Spectra image signal processor (ISP) that can power up to 200MP cameras and record 4K videos at 30fps. This means it supports 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPX, ISOCELL HP2 and ISOCELL HP3 camera sensors.
Coming to connectivity, the chipset uses Snapdragon X62 5G Modem with peak download speeds of up to 2.9Gbps. For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Qualcomm FastConnect 6700 comes built-in, offering Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. Location services include dual-band (L1/L5) QZSS, Galileo, Beidou, NavIC, GLONASS and GPS. As you can guess, the processor supports the USB Type-C interface at USB 3.1 speed. Also available is Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+.
