Qualcomm changed the naming convention of its mobile processors beginning with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 last year. This year, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoCs. The same naming convention will soon be applied to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 lineup.
The complete specs and features of the upcoming and yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor have been shared by popular tipster Evan Blass. The new SoC is expected to launch later this year at Snapdragon Summit, which will be held from November 15-17.
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 will be built on a 4nm process, a step up from the Snapdragon 695, the most recent Snapdragon 6 series SoC, which is built on a 6nm process. Let's take a look at the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 specifications.
