Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 empowers the next generation of Android screens

Every December for the past few years, Qualcomm has hosted an annual event in Hawaii to announce its most recent chipset. This year was no different from the company that took the opportunity to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. That’s right, for the next two years, Qualcomm is moving away from the numerical system that has defined its processors for years. As Snapdragon 865 changed 888, the company will now replace 888 with Gen 1.

The system-on-a-chip also includes Qualcomm’s own . The company says it can download 10Gbps speeds. This is one of the things that is interesting on paper, but it does not mean much in the world because some high speed 5G networks cannot produce speeds higher than 4Gbps in a good location. If you have access to a router, Gen 1 is capable of lowering the speed of 3.6 Gbps over WiFi.

As with its previous chipsets, Qualcomm has worked hard to improve camera technology. Gen 1 features an 18-bit graphics processor. It is a first for the company, and something claims that it allows the device to run 4,000 times more than the 14-bit Spectra ISP found on the Snapdragon 888. In addition, Gen1-powered phones will have a recording capacity of 3.2 gigapixels. at the moment. Instead, this means that Gen 1 is able to process data from three 36-megapixel cameras simultaneously without any shutdown, according to Qualcomm.

For the first time with the mobile phone, the company claims that the chipset can capture 8K HDR images at 30 frames per second. Again, it is not a very useful feature in the phone in 2021 as 4K is the top end of the range. On the record, Gen 1 supports UHD recording at 120 frames per second and is capable of recording slow motion at 960 frames per second at 720p. Unlike its Spectra ISP, the Gen 1 incorporates a permanent image processor that can drive the camera while using very low battery power. It is a component that would allow Gen 1-carrying devices to be able to constantly check the face to confirm biometric.

Gen 1 does not offer higher CPU performance than was previously possible with . What promises and acts quickly when it comes to AI-related tasks. It is due to Qualcomm’s new seventh-generation AI engine, which the company claims to run four times faster than it set up due to shared memory and a faster boost. The game is played with another well-known gen of Gen 1. According to Qualcomm, its latest Adreno GPU offers 30 percent faster rendering capabilities while using less than 25 percent power. Earlier in the day, Gen 1 includes Qualcomm support recently announced Bluetooth code. It can access CD-quality 16-bit 44.1kHz audio cables online wireless.

Releasing the Gen 1 product list with a dedicated Trust Management engine. Gen 1 is the first support chipset on Google standard outside the box, which means it has the ability to store items such as digital car keys and IDs.

With its innovative combination of functionality and new features, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 offers an impressive array of the next generation of Android screens. Now we have to wait and see what manufacturers can choose to support on their latest equipment. The first Gen 1 phones arrive by the end of this year, and many are expected to arrive in the first half of 2022.

Individually, Qualcomm announced that it is partnering with Google to bring the Neural Architecture Search platform to its company. The technology, which will be available for the first time on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, allows companies to create and optimize only AI models instead of manually. According to Google, NAS develops AI models in weeks and not months.
