Meet the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Super Cameras

When the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform was launched in November 2022, it debuted incredible new camera technology promising to power a new generation of super smartphone cameras and now, those cameras have arrived. 

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is intelligently engineered with groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) across the board to enable truly extraordinary experiences. With these smartphones in hand, you’ll be awestruck from ingenious capture powered by the industry’s very first Cognitive 18-bit image signal processor (ISP) and real-time Semantic Segmentation, optimizing photos and videos to National Geographic-levels of wow. And thanks to these features, Snapdragon now powers the world’s No. 1 ranked smartphone camera, smartphones with 200-megapixel (MP) photo capture, and the first smartphones with 4K Dolby Vision video capture.

Oppo Find X6 Pro

The Oppo Find X6 Pro is the highest rated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 smartphone camera in the world, according to the experts at DXOMark. It comes with the Sony IMX 989 QDOL4 — a new, massive one-inch image sensor fine-tuned for Snapdragon — which is currently the largest available sensor for smartphones. With a trio of 50MP cameras on the back (50MP wide + 50MP ultrawide + 50MP telephoto), the Oppo Find X6 Pro is capable of 4K Dolby Vison and captures photos in High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) 10-bit color depth, so photos are loaded with over a billion shades of color. DXOMark raves about both the “photos and videos that are consistently sharp, rich in texture and low in image noise, thanks to optimized large sensors.”¹

HONOR Magic 5 Pro

Meet the HONOR Magic 5 Pro. Packed with 8K video capture and the world’s first low-power gesture control — powered by Snapdragon’s Always-Sensing ISP —the Magic 5 Pro is sure to blow your mind. When tested by DXOMark, “the iPhone 14 Pro and Honor Magic5 Pro were on a very similar level but when shooting in low light or under indoor conditions, including with the ultra-wide camera, the HONOR was the better choice. It also offered a much better tele zoom, especially at medium and long range.”²

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

The latest smartphone phone from Samsung is the Galaxy S23 Ultra – it’s the world’s first smartphone to tap into the Snapdragon Cognitive ISP to deliver real-time Semantic Segmentation on the selfie camera. Its rear cameras are incredible too — it features 200 MP photo capture, 8K video capture, and electronic image stabilization (EIS). This is Samsung’s first smartphone with a “200MP image sensor, the ISOCELL HP2, with improved pixel technology and full-well capacity for stunning mobile images in tomorrow’s premium smartphones.”³
