Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 now official

Just as we reported last week, Qualcomm has now officially launched its all-new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset.

Qualcomm calls the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 its “most powerful Snapdragon 7-series — ever.”

The chip manufacturer says that the 7+ Gen 2’s Kryo CPU boasts substantial performance upgrades of up to 50% in overall improvement and performance gains. It also says that it will have up to 13% improved power efficiency.

The new chip will also introduce improvements in both photo and video capture, with Qualcomm saying that the 18-bit Qualcomm Spectra Triple ISP in the chip captures 4,000x more data than a 14-bit ISP for both photos and videos. Customers can also expect clearer shots after dark with Mega Low Light, merging the best features of 30 images into one photo.

The 7+ Gen 2 also promises high-speed 5G and Wi-Fi through the Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF System.

We expect the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 to appear in mid-range to upper mid-range devices and we’re excited about what it can provide in terms of real-world usage.
