Qualcomm has announced its latest mobile platform for the affordable smartphone segment, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4. The new chip is designed to improve performance, connectivity, and camera capabilities in low-end Android phones. While the company made a quiet announcement, the details indicate a major step forward for the Snapdragon 6-series lineup.

Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 specifications and features

The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 is the first in its series to be built on a 4nm process node, typically found in high-end chips. This shift enables better power efficiency and speed. According to Qualcomm, the new platform delivers up to 36 percent higher CPU performance and 59 percent faster GPU processing compared to older 6nm-based models.

The chip houses eight Kryo cores, with four performance cores clocked up to 2.4GHz and four efficiency cores reaching 1.8GHz. This setup ensures smoother multitasking, faster app launches, and improved gaming responsiveness.

The chipset supports Full HD+ displays with refresh rates up to 144Hz, enhancing visuals during gaming or scrolling. It also integrates Snapdragon Elite Gaming features such as Variable Rate Shading and Game Quick Touch, reducing input lag and rendering delays.

In terms of imaging, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 can handle up to 200-megapixel sensors and 2K video capture. Qualcomm’s hardware-level Multi-Frame Noise Reduction technology helps produce clearer images even in low light. Connectivity improvements include support for 5G Release 16, Wi-Fi 6E with speeds up to 2.9Gbps, and Bluetooth 5.4.

Although Qualcomm has not yet disclosed which brands will debut devices with this chip, companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Motorola are expected to feature it in upcoming models.
