Snapdragon 7 Gen 4: The power of premium smartphones is invited in affordable models

With the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, Qualcomm continues to blur the borders between the mid and high -end segments. Engraved in 4 nm, this new chip presents, according to the American founder, impressive advances compared to its predecessor:

• CPU: A gain of 27 % thanks to an architecture made up of a main cortex-a720 heart clocked at 2.8 GHz, supported by three performance cores at 2.4 GHz and four efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz.
• GPU: A 30 % faster and more fluid graphics rendering, ideal for sessions gaming Intensive.
• IA: Artificial intelligence takes a real accelerator with an improvement of 65 % of the IA treatment capacities, powered by the NPU Hexagon.

Optimized photo-video experience

Photo and video also benefit from a serious boost. The Triple ISP Spectra 12 bit can capture shots up to 200 megapixels and record videos in 4K HDR up to 30 frames per second (I/S) or 1080p at 120 I/s.

Photo lovers will benefit from an improved image processing, even in low light, with AI algorithms capable of correcting exposure, reducing digital noise and optimizing sharpness, making each shooting clearer and more detailed.

Generation of images by AI: a first in the mid -range

Until now reserved for high -end models, the generation of IA images is entering the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Thanks to stable diffusion technology, it will now be possible to create images from prompt, all without cloud connection.

This novelty opens up new perspectives for content creators and curious and creative users. Intelligent photo retouching, text generation and instant translation also become accessible to a greater number.

High -end gaming and connectivity

With the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, Qualcomm extends its Elite Gaming suite to mid -range smartphones. Mobile games would therefore benefit from a more fluid graphic rendering, reinforced by better frequency management and temperatures.

In terms of connectivity, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 supports:

• 5G GHz Sub-6 for ultra-fast downloads.
• Snapdragon Sound and Xpan, so far reserved for flagshipsland to optimize audio quality via Bluetooth.

Towards total accessibility of premium technologies

By integrating features formerly reserved for series 8, Qualcomm continues its accessibility strategy for premium performance. The first smartphones equipped with Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 are expected in the coming months, with models announced by Honor (on the Chinese market at first) and Vivo. The prices should oscillate between 400 and 700 €, making this level of power accessible to a wider audience without compromise on quality.
