The attractiveness of cost-effective mainstream mobile phone products to users is actually not inferior to the charm value of high-end flagship mobile phones. Especially in recent years, after Qualcomm has devolved the flagship features of the Snapdragon 8 series to non-flagship series such as the Snapdragon 7 series, Android mid-to-high-end mobile phones have begun a gorgeous transformation, no longer a mediocre "little follower", but a small "King Kong" that exudes strong flagship characteristics all around.
Qualcomm officially launched the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 in March this year, and there may be some problems with some friends when I see this name. "Isn't Qualcomm's previous generation 7 series product a Snapdragon 7 Gen1?According to convention, the name of the next-generation product should be Snapdragon 7 Gen2, why is it Snapdragon 7 + Gen2?For this question that netizens are generally concerned about, Qualcomm also gave the answer at the first time, in short, "If you accidentally improve your performance too much, you have to" +". ”
It is no exaggeration to say that when Qualcomm built the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2, it was completely in accordance with the standards of the flagship, and this advanced design concept beat 99 from the source9999% of competitors. Because of the market positioning and cost of mid-range processors, general manufacturers adhere to different ideas and logic from high-end processors when designing products. Qualcomm took the lead in breaking this conventional industry practice and opened the popular "core" fashion of casting non-flagship processors with flagship quality, which can be called another "industry change" work of Qualcomm.
The Snapdragon 7+Gen2 has a number of flagship technologies from the Snapdragon 8+Gen1 "True Transmission", including the 4nm TSMC process of the same 8 series flagship core, the same 1+3+4 triple cluster eight CPU core architecture design, and the highest frequency of the super-large core is 291GHz, a 50% improvement in performance compared to the previous generation. In addition, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 also inherits the same Qualcomm self-developed Adreno GPU as the Snapdragon 8+, the performance is more than 2 times higher than the previous generation of products, the overall energy efficiency is increased by 13%, and the total score in Antutu has exceeded 1 million points, which can only be achieved by flagships. Obviously, the comprehensive strength of Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 is very close to the flagship, and it can even be said to be the flagship. I have to say that Qualcomm's efforts in the mid-range market this time are really ruthless.
It is worth mentioning that the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2's running score of more than 1 million is not a one-time peak data, but 7 consecutive running scores, which are stable at around one million each time. You must know that for a chip, it is not difficult to run a limit high score at a time of "doing your best", but it is difficult to run consecutive scores. This not only places high demands on processor performance, but also on power consumption and heat generation. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 has such a stable high-performance output that even some flagship-level processors can't do it. For example, MediaTek Dimensity 9200+, although the official performance is very high, but it is only a one-time running score, and the average score of many consecutive running scores has not been announced, which may be due to the lack of performance output capacity for a long time.
In addition to the high-level continuous and stable performance output, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 has other peripheral features that are also very stylish, but when it comes to all aspects of the user experience, Qualcomm has raised it to the level of the flagship, including gaming, imaging, connectivity, AI, audio, and security, and the entire Snapdragon ecosystem, including the six King Kongs, has amazing and brilliant display here in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2. Users who like mobile games will not lose their excellent gaming experience by choosing the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 model, and users who do not play games can also fully enjoy the high-quality experience brought by Qualcomm's AI, connectivity, and audio-visual system for the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2.
