As part of its recent rebranding of Snapdragon chipsets in the latter part of last year, Qualcomm is shortly anticipated to reveal a low-cost processor. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC is anticipated to be released by the firm, and further information about the impending chipset has just appeared online.
A few information regarding the future Snapdragon 6 series chipset range are revealed in the spec sheet of the upcoming processor that popular tipster Evan Blass posted on Twitter. The insider has disclosed that the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset will be the name of the following chip to appear in the series. The fact that Qualcomm has stated that they would be rebranding their whole chipset family with the same nomenclature means that this is not a surprise.
In addition, he disclosed that Qualcomm will produce the future SoC using the 4nm manufacturing technology. Along with this, the chipset is anticipated to include an Adreno GPU and a Kyro CPU clocked at 2.2GHz. The Adreno GPU variant that will work alongside the Kyro CPU in the chip has not been disclosed by the manufacturer. Additionally, the article makes no mention of the 6 Gen 1 chip's CPU and GPU core counts. However, it does state that the processor would support UFS 3.1 storage and up to 12GB of 2,750MHz LPDDR5 RAM.
The chipset will have the Snapdragon X62 moden-RF system, which will support both the mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G bands, according to the specification sheet provided by the tipster.
Additionally, it is rumoured that the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will feature Quick Charge 4 Plus and a 120Hz full HD+ display. Additionally, Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6E are anticipated to be supported by the processor as connectivity choices.
The chipset is believed to allow either a 48MP single camera arrangement, a dual camera setup with 25MP and 16MP, or a triple rear 13MP camera setup.
If the tipster's disclosure of the specifications is accurate, handsets powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip won't be able to use sensors larger than 48 MP, which implies OEMs will only be able to use 48 MP sensors in their phones.
