Here’s all you need to know about the chipset and the smartphones it will power in the upcoming months.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is a 4nm octa-core chipset with a prime core that can clock up to 2.5GHz, three performance cores that can clock up to 2.4GHz and four efficiency cores for low-end use that max out at 1.8GHz.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 will also support FHD+ screens and external displays of up to 4K resolution at 60Hz. On the phone, the refresh rate can now go all the way to 144Hz.
Coming to camera capabilities, phones with the new chip can come with up to one 200MP camera or three 21MP cameras. The phones will also be able to record at 4K 30fps

Other features include support for 5G networks (both mmWave and sub-6GHz) via a new built-in modem. Lastly, the chip will also facilitate Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 4.0 standard allowing devices to charge at up to 100W speeds.
Android phones with the new chip are expected to launch as soon as next month, and multiple devices with the new chip and its AI capabilities could be up for grabs by the end of the year. How brands price these phones, however, will determine if the chip finally brings on-device AI to the masses.
