Unlike the 8+ Gen 1 and 7 Gen 1, Qualcomm Snapdragon did not share the details of these processors. But, the available promotion images for these chips tell a bit about their capabilities. The manufacturer also promises that the 6 Gen 1 and 4 Gen 1 processors will both feature upgrades in performance as against the current processors that the company has to offer in the budget performance range.

Both processors are 5G enabled, but the 6 gen 1 makes use of the 4nm fabrication processor, whereas the 4 Gen 1 is a 6nm chip. The 6 Gen 1 processor aims to turn heads as it offers support for 200MP shots, so we might start seeing some mid-range budget devices with a large sensor. As for the 4 Gen 1 processor, it offers support for a maximum of 108MP on its main camera sensor.

The more powerful 6 Gen 1 processor leans more towards the gaming community as it brings some Qualcomm core gaming features to bear. Some of the core gaming features are a 35% improvement to the Adreno GPU, a 40% improvement in Kryo CPU, and so much more. But the 4 Gen 1 processor only offers support for 120Hz, Qualcomm Game Quick Touch, and variable shading rates.

Some devices that will make use of these processors are already in the pipeline. One such device is the iQOO Z6 Lite which is to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC and will launch in a few weeks. Other devices will follow through after the coming iQOO launch.

As we know, Qualcomm has pushed out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 as well as its successor, the 8+ Gen 1. Following the flagship 8 Gen 1 was the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 for midrange flagship devices or flagship killers. All three processors are topping the game in all markets they exist in, and we expect nothing less from the coming Snapdragon processor.

For its specifications, it will support 5G connectivity and Qualcomm FastConnect 6700 System. When it comes to connectivity, it will support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 with lossless audio. On the main camera sensor of devices that are to use this processor, it will be able to carry a 108MP main camera sensor.

The maximum refresh rate this processor will support will be 120Hz and on a full HD+ display type. The memory type will be the LPDDR5 RAM, which will be able to pack up to 12GB of RAM. This processor will compete with other processors from the likes of MediaTek. For now, we do not know the launch date of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, but we do know that we are to see it enter the market before the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
