Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (SM7635) is an ARMv9-based SoC intended for use in Android-based smartphones and tablets.
The CPU unit consists of three clusters: these are made up of a prime core (Cortex A720), which operates at up to 2.5 GHz, three performance cores (Cortex A720, up to 2.4 GHz) and four power-saving units (Cortex A520, up to 1.8 GHz). Either LPDDR4x (up to 2,133 MHz) or LPDDR5 (up to 3,200 MHz) can be used as the main memory. The integrated Adreno 810 iGPU takes care of the graphics calculations.
Other features include a triple ISP, support for Qualcomm aptX Lossless Audio, a 30% improvement in AI performance compared to its predecessor, Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6E. It also supports fast UFS 3.1 memory and triple-frequency GNSS. The 5G modem RF system supports both 5G Sub6 and mmWave, which should enable download data rates of up to 2.9 Gbit/s.
The SoC is manufactured in the 4 nm process at TSMC.
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.
