Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 to bring 4 nm process, LPDDR5 RAM support and 120 Hz displays to cheaper Android smartphones

[Redaktion]

Qualcomm is preparing to release the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a next-generation option to the Snapdragon 680 and Snapdragon 695. According to a substantial leak, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is based on a 4 nm node and supports LPDDR5 RAM, USB 3.1 connectivity, a 48 MP primary camera and an FHD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, among other features.

No AV1 decode. Throw that 4nm chip straight into the garbage can.

Shameful SoC from Qualcomm - There is not even a video in 4K in h265@60fps! In 2022! Who do they take buyers for - for rams?

There cannot be in 2022 mass SOC without a video of 4K@60fps (I would also add and be sure to OIS)! A priori! All that does not have this is garbage.

No AV1 decode. Throw that 4nm chip straight into the garbage can.

But this is completely unimportant in practice for a smartphone while all using VP9. But the absence of 4K videos on 60FPS is a uniform shame. I will never buy a smartphone without a video in 4K/H265@60FPS and optical stabilization. This is what we use constantly, everywhere.  Today is a useless chip. H266 codec support is much more important now. But who support it in 2022?

You can also recall that almost all Chinese smartphones of even top-end level do not have an t of HDMI/DP output through usb-c. Although SoC almost all series supports this. And this is also an extremely important feature (output on monitor), many times more important than funny useless AV1.

Comments here complaining about a lack of 4K 60fps when these chips will be on phones that cost like $200.

And I'm here recording 4K 30fps and 24fps on my flagships.

Christ that guy needs to chill, like 2% of the population even uses 4k@60
