Qualcomm’s Newest Snapdragon 4 Series Chip is Now Official

While Qualcomm is usually known for its premium mobile chips like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 series, the company also pours a lot of R&D into lower-tier platforms which power a lot of affordable devices the world over. Take for example the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2, which was announced just today.

One of the biggest highlights of the 4s Gen 2 is that it features 5G connectivity in a more accessible 4nm package. Chris Patrick, Senior VP and GM of Mobile Handsets at Qualcomm comments:

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. 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.

Other features with the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 include dual band navIC for better position accuracy, AI-enhanced audio capabilities, as well as entertainment experiences like smoother gameplay and video streaming. Buyers can expect the 4s Gen 2 to appear in several smartphones later in the year, with the first being models from Xiaomi.
