The best Qualcomm platform for mid-range smartphones. Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 introduced on new Cortex-A cores
Qualcomm today introduced not only the flagship SoC Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, but also a solution for the middle segment. The new platform is called Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
The new platform is designed to replace the popular Snapdragon 778G. The configuration of the novelty includes one Cortex-A710 core with a frequency of 2.4 GHz, three of the same cores with a frequency of 2.36 GHz, four Cortex-A510 cores with a frequency of 1.8 GHz and an Adreno GPU, whose name Qualcomm for some reason does not indicate . Third party sources say it’s Adreno 662.
But the company says that the GPU should be 20% faster than the core in the Snapdragon 778G. And in AI tasks, the new platform will be 30% faster already. Separately, it is worth noting the support for Adreno Frame Motion Engine technology. The essence of her work is unknown, but Qualcomm says that with her performance in games will double in the absence of an increase in power consumption. And here we are clearly talking about some kind of workaround, like drawing frames in Samsung smartphones, otherwise it is simply impossible.
The new SoC also includes a Snapdragon X62 5G modem capable of transferring data at speeds up to 4.4 Gbps. The platform supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 standard. There is also support for Snapdragon Sound and aptX.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 also supports LPDDR5 memory up to 16GB, Full HD screens up to 144Hz and QHD at 60Hz, while the Spectra image processor supports cameras up to 200MP and 4K video recording with HDR support.
The first smartphones with this SoC should be out in a few weeks. Earlier there were rumors that these will be Oppo devices.

165 Hz, 18 GB of RAM, a huge screen, a huge battery and an unusual design. Asus ROG Phone 6 images revealed
The gaming smartphone Asus ROG Phone 6 will be presented on July 5, but today multiple images of the device have appeared on the Web.
As you can see, the design will still be very unusual with many different elements and accents, but this is normal for a gaming smartphone. The camera module will change somewhat, although in general Asus is clearly not trying to make the new model radically different from the previous one.
The renders also show a new version of the proprietary AeroActive Cooler 6, which can also act as a stand, as well as a Devilcase Guardian Lite Plus case.
The smartphone is credited with SoC Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, a 165-Hz AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, 18 GB of RAM and a 5850 mAh battery with 65-watt charging.

Should HTC have gone back to making smartphones? HTC Desire 22 Pro unveiled for $405 and not the most impressive specs
HTC has been intriguing over the past few weeks with a flagship smartphone with a focus on virtual and augmented reality technologies, but in fact it turned out to be the $405 HTC Desire 22 Pro, built on the Snapdragon 695. It’s certainly not a flagship, but the price is considerable.
HTC Desire 22 Pro received a screen with a diagonal of 6.6 inches, Full HD + resolution and a frame rate of 120 Hz, as well as a triple main camera with sensors with a resolution of 64, 13 and 5 MP. Judging by the picture, there is no periscope module, which means that the “optical zoom” will be achieved due to the difference in focal lengths of different lenses.
In the configuration of the device, there is also protection in accordance with the degree of IP67 (and this is really not often found in mid-range models), a 4520 mAh battery (both wireless and reverse wireless charging are supported), pre-installed Android 12. The configuration is one – with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory.
