## Benefits

#### Outstanding performance

Our custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU supercharges experiences with 36% improved performance delivering up to 3.8GHz peak speeds. The new Adreno GPU architecture packs dedicated memory per slice and 11% faster graphics rendering. High-bandwidth DDR up to 4.8 GHz significantly boosts overall performance, while an improved 3nm process node drives greater power efficiency, delivering an impressive 13% overall power savings.

#### Flagship photo and video

Our AI ISP is packed with intelligent features like real-time tone control—now upgraded to recognize vegetation. Context-aware autofocus, auto-white balance, and auto-exposure make every snap a success, while videography gets a boost from Night Vision 3.0 capturing at a silky-smooth 60 FPS in near darkness. Plus, Snapdragon Audio Sense records HDR audio while eliminating background wind noise—no external microphone necessary.

#### Remarkable intelligence

The revamped Hexagon NPU delivers 46% faster performance. This powerful NPU works in tandem with the enhanced Qualcomm Sensing Hub to enable agentic AI experiences that learn and adapt to your preferences over time, providing highly personalized recommendations and interactions across apps. You'll enjoy more natural communication through multimodal voice assistance and AI activation, which can now be triggered simply by lifting your phone, allowing you to interact on your own terms.

#### Expert-level gaming

Game Ready drivers and our smart game tuning solutions optimize performance, while innovations like Mesh Shading and Auto Variable Rate Shading (VRS) empower developers to create console-quality experiences for mobile. Multiplayer gaming gets even more seamless thanks to support for 6-antenna connectivity and our custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU, providing consistently high frame rates.

#### Robust 5G and Wi-Fi 7

The Snapdragon X80 5G Modem-RF System offers 5G-Advanced readiness with 6Rx antenna support for boosting performance and range, plus peak uplink speeds up to 3.5 Gbps. The FastConnect 7900 Mobile Connectivity System is a highly integrated 6nm system delivering Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth® 6.0 wireless technology, and Ultra Wideband (UWB) along with AI-powered proximity solutions to find lost items using UWB, Bluetooth Channel Sounding, and Wi-Fi Ranging.
