It supports sub-6Hz 5G networks with 2x2 Mimo antennas and backs multimode connectivity for LTE, WCDMA, HSPA, and GSM/Edge legacy networks.
Techspot reported the chip is built on 4nm process node. The CPU includes two Kryo performance cores up to 2GHz and six efficiency cores (1.6GHz), which are slightly slower than the existing Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC.
“The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 Mobile Platform is a significant leap forward in making 5G technology more accessible, so more people can navigate the world at 5G speeds,” claims Qualcomm senior vice president and general manager of mobile handsets Chris Patrick.
“Thanks to cutting-edge engineering, we balanced affordability with strong performance and all-day battery life, as well as widespread access to 5G for more enhanced mobile experiences.”
Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 will initially be adopted by Xiaomi, with the first device expected to be announced before the end of 2024. Despite bans imposed by US and EU authorities, Xiaomi still cemented its position as the third-largest smartphone company in the world, behind Samsung and Apple.
“Many people have yet to experience the benefits of 5G, and thanks to Snapdragon 4s Gen 2, Xiaomi can bring 5G connectivity to a broader audience to help reshape the way the world connects and interacts,” says Xiaomi India president Muralikrishnan B.
