Qualcomm Unveils Snapdragon 7 Gen 4—The Next-Gen Multimedia Powerhouse
Qualcomm Technologies has officially launched the Snapdragon® 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform, setting a new benchmark in premium mobile performance, immersive gaming, AI capabilities, and connectivity for the next generation of mid-tier smartphones.
At the heart of the new platform lies a suite of upgraded core technologies: the Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU delivers a 27% performance boost with peak speeds up to 2.8 GHz, while the Qualcomm® Adreno™ GPU sees a 30% improvement in graphics rendering. This enhanced processing power ensures smooth multitasking, lag-free gaming, and lightning-fast content creation across the board.
AI On-Demand, On-Device
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 features a significantly enhanced Qualcomm® Hexagon™ NPU, powering a 65% leap in AI performance over its predecessor. From generative AI assistants to Stable Diffusion 1.5 for real-time image creation, the platform supports on-device execution of today’s most popular large language models (LLMs), enabling intuitive, secure, and ultra-fast AI-driven experiences.
A New Era in Mobile Photography
The platform’s Qualcomm® Spectra™ Triple ISP brings AI-enhanced photography and videography straight into the hardware. Users can expect fast autofocus, precise auto white balance, and optimized exposure. Integrated Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) ensures crystal-clear captures, even in motion, while Video Super Resolution enables detailed video even when zoomed in.
Snapdragon Elite Gaming™: Built to Win
Select Snapdragon Elite Gaming™ features make their debut in the 7-series, including Snapdragon Adaptive Game Configuration and Qualcomm Adaptive Performance Engine 4.0, dynamically tuning CPU and GPU settings in real time. This means smoother gameplay, reduced stutter, and smart power management during intense gaming scenarios.
Boundless Audio and Connectivity
Gamers and audiophiles alike will appreciate Snapdragon Sound™ Technology Suite, which now includes Qualcomm® Expanded Personal Area Network (XPAN) for Wi-Fi-connected earbuds with whole-building range. Audio quality is elevated through the Qualcomm Aqstic™ Hi-Fi DAC, delivering immersive sound without compromise.
On the connectivity front, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 debuts Bluetooth® 6.0 and Wi-Fi 7 in the 7-series, powered by the Qualcomm® FastConnect™ Mobile Connectivity System. Together with the Snapdragon® 5G Modem-RF System, users can enjoy peak 5G download speeds of up to 4.2 Gbps, ultra-low latency, and support for the latest global networks.
Designed for the Future
Manufactured on a cutting-edge 4nm process node, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 ensures power efficiency and future-ready performance. It supports UFS 4.0 storage, LPDDR5x RAM, WQHD+ displays at 144Hz, and 4K external display output—all while securing user data with the Qualcomm® 3D Sonic Sensor Max and a comprehensive security suite including TEE and Hypervisor.
Availability
Devices powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform are expected to launch later this year, bringing flagship-level capabilities to broader audiences across global markets.
