- Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor for mid-tier smartphones.
- The new chip brings a 20% faster CPU, 40% faster GPU, 30% better AI performance, and 12% better power savings compared to the 7s Gen 2.
- Xiaomi, Samsung, and several other brands will offer devices with this processor.
Qualcomm has already announced the pseudo-flagship Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 chipset and the less capable Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. Now, the company is ready to take another step down with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor.
As the name implies, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is the least capable chip of the trio. But it still looks like a solid upgrade over the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 seen in mid-range Android phones like the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion and Redmi Note 13 Pro.
