There are still areas where 5G isn’t completely reliable, and Qualcomm hopes to fix that with its latest Snapdragon chip.
Snapdragon vs MediaTek Helio processors
Qualcomm announced the new Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 via a press release on its site on Tuesday. The new chip brings Gigabit 5G connectivity, all-day power efficiency and improved camera capabilities. Chief among those is 1Gbps 5G connectivity, which enables download speeds of up to 1Gbps, “7x faster than LTE platforms typically available at the same price point,” according to the press release.
5G connectivity isn't the only thing the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 will offer. Qualcomm says the new chip will also deliver "robust CPU performance for seamless multitasking and productivity, dual-band navIC for better positional accuracy, AI-enhanced audio, and entertainment experiences like smooth gameplay and powerful video streaming."
“The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 mobile platform is a major step forward in making 5G technology more accessible, so more people can navigate the world at 5G speeds,” said Chris Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of mobile phones, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
