Last year, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, leaving behind its old naming convention and presumably bringing its chipsets to the next generation. Now, the company is finally bringing everyone under the same roof. Saying goodbye to the Snapdragon 600 and 400 series, Qualcomm has launched the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1.

In contrast to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s premium offering, both of the new chipsets will appeal to the midrange and budget phone segments. Both will feature a healthy infusion of new AI capabilities while focusing on performance.

First up, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will deliver improvements for gamers. Compared to the previous generation, the new midrange chipset can render graphics 35 percent faster and process operations 40 percent quicker. Packed with the new 7^th-generation Qualcomm AI Engine, it comes with a lot of possibilities for AI-infused devices. Also, the chipset can now support 108-megapixel cameras and HDR capabilities. Devices with the midrange chipset are set to come out in the first quarter of 2023.

On the other hand, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 builds on more performance and battery efficiency. The chipset has 15 percent better CPU and 10 percent better GPU, compared to the previous generation. It can also support 108-megapixel cameras. The AI Engine can help keep voice assistants active in the background. Qualcomm also promises “multi-day battery life” in devices with the new processor. Devices are set to come out during the third quarter of 2022.

Motorola has already promised that an upcoming device will come with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 next year. iQOO, however, will launch the Z6 Lite to help debut the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 later this year.
