Specs for Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip leaked

WASHINGTON: Qualcomm will be launching a Snapdragon 6 series chip with the same naming convention as its predecessor, suggests new leaks.

According to GSM Arena, a reliable leakster Evan Blass has leaked the complete specs sheet of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, which tells that it is a 4nm chip having part number SM6450.

The new chipset supports 5G networks and Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4+ technology. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC consists of a Kryo CPU clocked at up to 2.2GHz, but the number of cores is unknown.

This chip can support displays with up to FullHD+ resolution and 120Hz screen refresh rate and let users take pictures with a 108MP camera.

The smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will also be able to record 4K HDR videos at 30 FPS and slow-mo videos at 240 FPS.

GSM Arena has reported that the image shared by Blass says 240 FPS slow-mo video recording can be done in 270p, which could be a typo, and the actual resolution could be 720p.
