2023 will be a tough year for mobile telephony, and Qualcomm knows it. With an unfavorable outlook for the cell phone market and Closing factories in Asia due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the California-based firm is looking to increase the power and connectivity of its chips. After the first version of its new concept, Qualcomm officially introduces a new Snapdragon 8 generation 2.

During its annual Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, hosted by NIUSGEEK, Qualcomm announced its new mobile platform focused on autonomy, performance and AI performance.

“We aim to give the user more and put them at the center of Snapdragon. 8 Gen 2 will revolutionize the premium phone market in 2023.” said Chris Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of Qualcomm’s mobile division.

Smarter processor

For starters, the 4nm lithography-based architecture allows Qualcomm to add some experience boosters, thereby freeing up the load on the CPU and GPU. With this new integrated tensor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is up to 4.35 times more powerful than the previous generation in terms of AI.

What benefit does it bring to you? Well, a lot. On the one hand, most of the automated processes will be better understood by the processor and benefit users. For example, a smartphone will be able to generate procedures and solve situations based on machine learning with greater speed and accuracy. In addition, translation processes in conversations between different languages ​​will be able to deliver sentences almost immediately.

On the other hand, this is the first version with an AI format called INT4, which improves the accuracy of automatic learning processes and improves energy saving by 60% compared to Gen 1.

Qualcomm turns on ray tracing

Another of the most exciting new features of this new generation of processors is the introduction of Ray Tracing, a technology that tracks light and reflection trails on graphics cards and can finally improve the gaming experience on higher performance phones. .

“Snapdragon Elite Gaming” accelerates the new generation of Adreno GPUs by 25% over the one integrated in 2022, delivering “photorealism” as an element that precedes the metaverse, one of Qualcomm’s best bets in recent years, and thanks to Unreal Engine. 5 to create more realistic metahuman avatars.

Finally 8K at 60fps

To enhance camera experience, this Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 includes a recognition-based image processor. This allows the hardware on which this chip is installed to accurately apply filters and process blurry backgrounds in real time, as well as improve image detail.

Along with this announcement, Qualcomm mentioned that it already supports the latest generation sensors from Sony IMX and Samsung ISOCELL, whose 200MP HP3 sensor will be included in the Samsung Galaxy S23 and with all the extras developed by Qualcomm.

In addition, Qualcomm confirms that the new technology behind Snapdragon Sight enables the use of the AV1 video codec, an add-on that will improve video recording and finally record clips in 8K resolution at up to 60fps, which is achieved with higher frame rate. speed in 4K and lower resolutions.

WiFi 7 and dual Bluetooth on Qualcomm phones

Processor Expands Connectivity

After a long wait, the first smartphones with WiFi 7 connectivity will arrive in 2023. Yes, we already know that this technology will not hit the consumer market anytime soon, but Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset phones are coming. be prepared to cover this spectrum, which will operate in the 6 GHz band.

This new version of Snapdragon delivers improved 5G and 5G+ connectivity for faster networks, and brings to the market the amazing ability to use two Bluetooth headsets on the same phone at the same time thanks to Snapdragon Sound and this update to reduce latency. game sound at 48ms and the ability to stream to two TWS simultaneously.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2: what phones will appear in 2023

This is part of the companies that will have a Snapdragon processor from the end of 2022.

According to Qualcomm, there are several agreements in place with established tech firms to bring this integration to mainstream smartphones from late 2022.

Companies such as REDMAGIC, Honor, ZTE, Xiaomi, Redmi, Meizu, vivo, Sony, Oppo, Nubia, Motorola and other companies have already announced a close cooperation with Qualcomm to use Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in high-end.
