Qualcomm's new low-cost smartphone platform

Despite the fact that Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has been on the market for more than half a year, and Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 has already been released, among other platforms of the new line, Qualcomm has only Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which so far has become the basis of only one smartphone. But today data about the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 appeared on the Web.

The source shared a screenshot from the Qualcomm website, so we know all the parameters. True, in some places the details are not enough.

For example, you can see that the new SoC will receive Kryo processor cores, but there is neither the number nor the names of the cores. Unless the frequency is indicated - 2.2 GHz. At the same time, there is hardly any doubt that the CPU will be eight-core.

The GPU is also unnamed, although it lists support for Vulkan 1.1, HDR Gaming, OpenGL ES 3.2, and so on. The platform will also receive a Snapdragon X62 5G modem, support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, LPDDR5 RAM and cameras up to 108 megapixels. Smartphones based on this SoC will be able to shoot video in 4K at 30 fps. Also worth noting is support for Full HD + screens with a frequency of up to 120 Hz. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will be manufactured using the 4nm process technology.
