Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, a chipset for mid-range mobile devices that promises significant performance gains over its predecessor, access to AI technologies, better connectivity, and more memory and storage capacity.

A few days after the introduction of the 8S Gen3, Qualcomm intends to serve this very important middle class at all levels. Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 only changes the name ‘Plus’ compared to the current version, but the truth is that The improvements are significant and in all sections.
