Today, Qualcomm Technologies, unveiled the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 Mobile Platform, which aims to improve 5G’s dependability and accessibility. With the launch of this new platform, Qualcomm is demonstrating once again its dedication to engineering human progress by leading the world’s shift from 4G to 5G, thereby empowering sectors and communities alike. The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 has an abundance of feature-rich improvements, such as a strong CPU for efficient multitasking and productivity, two band navIC for improved position accuracy, AI-enhanced audio, and entertainment experiences including powerful video streaming and fluid gameplay.

Change is sparked by the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 Mobile Platform

This platform enables Gigabit 5G more widely available through state-of-the-art engineering, revolutionising how people connect, engage, and live. All of your treasured memories may be captured with a competent camera, and resilient performance offers all-day battery life for dependable enjoyment. This platform gives you the strength and potential of Snapdragon, enabling you to achieve further.

Thanks to the 5G Modem-RF System’s deliberate design to balance efficiency and performance, more people may now enjoy gigabit 5G internet globally. Users of the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 may stream media, browse social media, and instantly share memories while on the go thanks to its all-day battery life. Furthermore, features like precise navigation and mobile payments make life easier.

Additionally, this platform makes innovation and enjoyment accessible. Capture clear images and videos with superior camera features like Multi-Frame Noise Reduction, which reduces distortion and increases detail. While AI-powered audio capabilities like noise and echo cancellation enable rich listening experiences, simple speech recognition, and crystal-clear calls, gaming progresses seamlessly.

5G gigabit Ethernet

With Qualcomm’s 5G Modem-RF System, more consumers globally may get 5G thanks to its more efficient system-wide optimisations. This platform offers first-in-series support for Release 17 5G and download speeds of up to 1 Gbps, which is 7 times faster than LTE Cat-4. Additionally, easily transition while on the road from 5G to Wi-Fi 5.

Adaptable functioning

An effective 4nm technology node improves battery conservation for smartphone use all day. Get 50% extra battery life in just 15 minutes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ Technology and 40W rapid charging. Improved UFS 3.1 memory allows for quicker data processing, which improves overall speed and allows apps to run more smoothly.

Competent photographer

Utilise the Qualcomm Spectra Dual 12-bit ISP to capture images and movies concurrently. Photographs and videos remain stable and smooth thanks to Electronic Image Stabilisation, while snapshots are impressive because to Multi-Frame Noise Reduction, which combines the best parts of many images for crisp results. Moreover, in-sensor zoom produces clear images of distant objects.

Dependable amusement

You can stream videos in stunning detail and enjoy your mobile gaming almost anywhere with support for FHD+ monitors. In addition, the AI-powered echo cancellation and noise suppression feature of Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec produces real, high-resolution audio straight from your device, reducing background noise in noisy settings.

“More people will be able to navigate the world at 5G speeds thanks to the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 Mobile Platform,” stated Chris Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of mobile handsets at Qualcomm Technologies. “We were able to combine affordability, robust performance, and long-lasting battery life with widespread 5G availability for improved mobile experiences, all thanks to state-of-the-art engineering.”

Xiaomi will be the company that first uses the Snapdragon 4S Gen 2, and the company anticipates releasing its first product by the end of 2024.
