These upgrades make the platform smarter and more efficient in real-time user interactions and photo/video enhancements.
Flagship-Grade Imaging Comes to the Mid-Range
A standout feature of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is its 12-bit triple Image Signal Processor (ISP) with support for up to 200MP camera sensors. Video capabilities get a serious lift with Real-time 4K60 Video Super Resolution, which preserves sharpness and clarity even during zoomed shots.
Additional features include:
- AI-powered autofocus
- Auto white balance and exposure
- Hardware-level image stabilization
These imaging upgrades are appearing in the Snapdragon 7 series for the first time, bringing near-flagship camera capabilities to mid-tier smartphones.
Coming Soon to Honor and Vivo Phones
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is expected to debut on the Honor 400 series, which is anticipated to launch later this month. Vivo is also rumored to be preparing a new smartphone powered by this latest chipset.
With major strides in performance, AI, and imaging, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is set to redefine the mid-range smartphone experience and bring premium features to a broader audience..
