Qualcomm will announce a budget 5G chipset at tomorrow’s ‘Snapdragon for India’ event and Evan Blass may have just spoiled the surprise – here are the details for the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2. This is a lower power, cheaper version of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 from last year.
This is still a 4nm chip with an octa-core CPU (two Cortex-A78 plus six A55), but with the clock speeds dialed back by 200MHz. The GPU presumably took a step back as well. Also, only 2,133MHz LPDDR4X RAM is supported (the non-s model can also use 5X at 3,200MHz). In terms of performance, this should slot in somewhere…
