The Qualcomm brand is offering the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a significant boost from the Snapdragon 695 of last year. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is bringing in a 35 percent GPU performance increase and a whopping 40 percent increase in CPU performance. Let’s dive into further details and see what other interesting feats this chipset has to offer.
Features of Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1
The chipset is built on a 4nm manufacturing process and will be an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.2GHZ, although the Adreno GPU is still unknown. Just like the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, this chip has OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1 and OpenCL 2.0 FP API support. Gamers would experience a little improvement, thanks to the HDR gaming support, HDR playback codec support for HLG and hardware accelerated H.256.
Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 gets enhancements in storage as the chip has to support up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM clocked at 2750MHZ as well as the UFS 3.1 storage. You get up to three versions of 5G with this chipset – mmWave and sub-6GHz, 5G Powersave 2.0, and global 5G multi-sim support – thanks to the Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF.
Interestingly, this chipset is the first in the Snapdragon 6 series to get the 7th Gen Qualcomm AI engine so this means you’re getting better AI performance out of this chipset.
Camera? The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset has support for a single 48MP camera, 25MP+16MP dual camera, or triple 13MP camera setup. This chip can also capture a slow motion 720p video at 240FPS and a 4K HDR video at 30FPS, plus other media enhancements like noise reduction, auto exposure, and AI-based face detection among others.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset brings a lot to the table for a budget-friendly chipset and we can’t wait to see how Android OEMs will apply its efficiency on the smartphones to arrive soon.
