- Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor for mid-range phones.
- This is the first mid-range chip with support for Qualcomm’s XPAN audio feature, which transmits audio over Wi-Fi.
- The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 also enjoys major boosts to CPU, GPU, and AI performance.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor has found itself in plenty of mid-range Android phones since its November 2023 launch date. It’s been a while since then, but we’ve finally got a successor in the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 today (May 14), and it offers a number of improvements. What’s perhaps more noteworthy, however, is that it has some major connectivity features for a mid-range processor.
