Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (SM7435-AB) is an ARMv9-A-based SoC for tablets and smartphones in the upper mid-range segment.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 integrates a total of 8 cores divided into two clusters. The ARM Cortex-A78 cluster for high performance offers four cores with up to 2.4 GHz. The remaining 4 cores are based on the more energy-efficient A55 architecture and can be clocked at up to 1.95 GHz. All cores can run simultaneously or just a single cluster.
The SoC is similar to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 which offers a slightly lower clocked efficiency cluster and a different named GPU. The similar named Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is clearly faster with newer CPU cores. Although the naming suggest it, there was no Snapdragon 7s Gen 1.
LPDDR5 RAM is supported, with a frequency of up to 6,400 MHz.
The Snapdragon X62 5G modem is used as the modem. It supports a range of SA and NSA 5G mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies as well as Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS). The X62 can achieve a maximum downlink speed of up to 2.9 Gbit/s in 5G networks.
The Adreno 710 forms the graphics subsystem. The GPU is capable of driving FHD+ displays at up to 144 Hz.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is manufactured using the modern 4nm EUV process.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 (or Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3) is a fast mid-range SoC with 8 cores for smartphones and tablets (mainly Android-based).
The SoC was introduced in March 2024 and brings some improvements compared to its predecessor Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. According to the manufacturer, this includes 15% more processor performance and 45% more GPU performance.
Qualcomm combines an ARM Cortex-X4 Prime core with clock speeds of up to 2.8 GHz with four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz and three economical Cortex-A520 efficiency cores at 1.9 GHz. An Adreno 732 is used as the GPU, which supports Vulkan 1.1 and Snapdragon Elite Gaming.
The integrated ISP can process photos from a 200 MP camera and 4K HDR videos at 60 fps. New AI functions from the Snapdragon 8 series are designed to enable better automated post-processing of photos.
The SoC also supports fast UFS 4.0 memory. Qualcomm also installs a Snapdragon X63 5G modem that achieves a download speed of up to 4.2 Gbit/s. The FastConnect 6900 chip supports Wi-Fi 7.
The SoC is manufactured in the modern 4nm process at TSMC.
