Powerhouse Qualcomm Oryon CPU defines a new mobile era

The first-in-mobile Qualcomm Oryon CPU delivers a 45% performance boost, 44% greater power efficiency, and the mobile industry’s largest shared data cache. Our Qualcomm® Adreno GPU with newly sliced architecture achieves 40% enhanced performance and 40% improved efficiency. System-wide, experience an overall power savings of 27%. 

Multimodal Gen AI at your fingertips 

The Qualcomm® AI Engine boasts the fastest Qualcomm® Hexagon NPU, delivering a 45% AI performance improvement and 45% better performance per watt. Plus, multimodal Gen AI support and longer token inputs will help you become an expert on any topic.

AI-powered camera redefines photography

Our AI ISP is directly fused with the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ NPU to offer industry-leading camera features, like limitless Semantic Segmentation at 4K resolution. Plus, our on-device video object eraser, can remove unwanted elements from videos, while Insight AI provides real-time skin and sky adjustments to create more natural color and lighting in uncertain conditions.

Power and efficiency for revolutionary gaming

Mobile-first support for Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite solution enables astonishing film-quality 3D environments in smartphone gaming—while maximizing efficiency. Plus, support for Unreal’s Chaos Physics Engine delivers lifelike object interactions and simulations, even in complex scenes.

Studio-quality audio

Our Snapdragon Sound™ Technology Suite with Qualcomm® aptX™ Lossless Technology delivers up to 24-bit 48kHz bluetooth music streaming and up to 24-bit 96kHz Wi-Fi music streaming. Qualcomm® Expanded Personal Area Network (XPAN) technology enables whole-building untethered audio coverage -- aided by ultra-low power Wi-Fi 7.

Fully integrated, AI-enhanced connectivity 

The Snapdragon X80 5G Modem-RF System with a dedicated AI tensor accelerator achieves multi-gigabit 5G speeds in more places with the first 4x6 MIMO solution, and 30% more accurate location positioning. And, our 40% more efficient Qualcomm® FastConnect™ 7900 Mobile Connectivity System is the first to integrate Wi-Fi ranging, Bluetooth® wireless technology, and UWB proximity technologies for object tracking, building access control, and more. 

All comparisons made to previous generation.
