The AI Engine delivers 60% better AI performance/watt, with INT4 precession support. Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 also supports spatial audio with head tracking, as well as multi-device Snapdragon Seamless experiences.

As for the camera part, the company mentions the Google Ultra HDR image format on Android 14. Besides, an “AI Remosaic” feature lets you “eliminate grainy discoloration for higher-res results” that have more vivid colors.

Another highlighting feature is its improved AI-based face detection. There’s the Snapdragon X63 5G modem for up to 5 Gbps downloads, as well as 5G Dual-SIM Dual-Active (DSDA) in 5G+5G or 5G+4G SIM card configurations.

Apart from this, the US chip designer is also touting triple frequency location support for improved accuracy even with a lower-quality GNSS antenna. Samsung is unlikely to introduce Snapdragon 7 Gen 3-powered Galaxy phones.
