- Qualcomm has announced the budget-tier Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor.
- The chipset shares plenty in common with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1.
- Expect the first phones to arrive in H2 2023, with Redmi and vivo working on devices.
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 back in September, effectively replacing the Snapdragon 400 naming convention in the low-end segment. Now, the chipmaker has announced the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2.
Look at the specs and you might realize that the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 doesn’t bring improvements in every category, even seeing a couple of downgrades. Qualcomm told Android Authority that the new chipset is meant to power cheaper devices than the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1.
