Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will be the new SoC that Qualcomm is developing to improve it efficiency and performance of basic cell phonesas we read va leaked technical sheet by Evan Blass.

The high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 marked a change in the nomenclature, performance level and energy efficiency of Qualcomm’s mobile chipsets. The same approach was used for the mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, and now the manufacturer has a new edition in the works.

Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, Specs

The new SoC will be a completely new development made in 4 nanometer manufacturing processes. It will have a Kryo CPU with a working frequency of 2.2 GHz and an unspecified Adreno GPU. It will support displays with FHD+ resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz, as well as 4K HDR video capture and a camera configuration with a maximum sensor of 48 MP.

Phones using this chipset can contain max 12GB of memory RAM LPDDR5 at 2,750 MHz Its network support is also interesting, as in addition to Wi.Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, it will support good support for 5G networksnatively both mmWave and sub-6GHz via the Snapdragon X62 5G platform.

We lack data to judge, but the new 4nm manufacturing process should guarantee an increase in CPU and GPU performance without reducing energy efficiencywhich its older brother, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, has already achieved. In addition, it will definitely democratize the use of 5G in entry-level mobiles, which will continue to be as cheap as ever, below the $200 mark.

Qualcomm is expected to officially announce the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 during the Snapdragon Summit on November 15. The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 should also appear during this event and will be tasked with competing with the new SoCs that Apple has prepared for the iPhone 14, which are expected to have high performance. We already told you. We’ll leave you with the spec sheet (unofficial):
