Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3

Qualcomm SD 6 Gen 1

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 (SM6475-AB) is an ARM-based SoC for smartphones and tablets in the mid-range segment. The chip was presented in late 2024 and offers four fast ARM Cortex-A78-based cores with up to 2 GHz and four ARM Cortex-A55-based power cores with up to 1.8 GHz. Except for the higher clock rate of the Cortex-A78 cores, the SoC corresponds to the older Snapdragon 6 Gen 1.

As expected, the performance is only a few percentage points above the old Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and therefore in the lower mid-range of current smartphone processors.

The integrated graphics card is the Adreno 710. The 5G modem achieves a maximum download speed of 2.9 GBit and supports mmWave. The FastConnect subsystem offers Bluetooth 5.2 LE and Wi-Fi 6E. All important satellite positioning systems such as GPS, QZSS, NavIC, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo are supported. The image signal processor for the cameras supports 3 cameras. Up to 200 megapixels are possible with the main camera and the recording of images in HEIC format is supported.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is manufactured using 4 nm technology.

Battery and display are better, but the Samsung Galaxy A36 remains our favorite - Xiaomi Poco M8 5G review

Bright display, good battery life and solid features: the Xiaomi Poco M8 5G actually does everything right. Almost, that is, if it weren't for the annoying competition. The Poco phone often simply gets the short end of the stick against them. To make matters worse, Xiaomi is also cannibalizing itself, as the identical smartphone is currently available at least as cheaply under a different name.
