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.
