According to foreign media Android Headlines, Qualcomm is developing three mid-range phone SoCs, with model numbers SM4635, SM6650 and SM7635.
According to the naming rules, these three processors will belong to the Snapdragon 4/6/7 series respectively. The development code name of SM4635 is “pitti”, while the development code names of SM6650 and SM7635 are both “volcano”.

Source Roland Quandt said in early February that SM4635 is the Snapdragon 4 Gen 3. At that time, he said that the project codenamed Kalpeni was testing a storage configuration of 6GB LPDDR4X memory + 256GB UFS 3.1 flash memory.
For reference, the model names of the previous two generations of 4 Series products, Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 and 4 Gen 2, were SM4375 and SM4450 respectively.
In terms of slightly higher-grade products codenamed “volcano”, Qualcomm is expected to repeat the strategy on Snapdragon 6 Gen1 (SM6450) and 7s Gen2 (SM7435), launching SM6650 and SM7635 as two products with similar specifications.
The previous Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 7s Gen 2 also shared the development codename “parrot”.
Android Headlines predicts that the SM7635 chip performance will not be as good as the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 but will still be significantly improved to enhance Qualcomm’s competitiveness in the mid-range SoC field. Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro is expected to be equipped with this processor.
