Qualcomm outs 4nm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset

Qualcomm has revealed their new Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset at an event in India.

It’s positioned to be an affordable 5G chipset produced through a 4nm process technology fit for budget-friendly devices.

The chipset features 2 Cortex-A78 cores clocking up to 2.0GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores clocking up to 1.8GHz. All cores are down by 200 MHz in comparison to the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2.

Qualcomm is using a slower 5G modem rated for 1Gbps download speeds. Display support peaks at FHD+ for resolution and 90Hz for refresh rate.

The chipset’s image signal processing (ISP) supports up to 84-megapixels for main camera sensors. For local connectivity, it provides support for Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1.
