Snapdragon 782G features:
Amplified performance:
The Kryo CPU on the new processor is improved by over 5% and Adreno GPU sees an up to 10% boost compared to the Snapdragon 778G+. And, when your device’s battery needs a boost, Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ technology will recharge it instantly.
Effortless AI:
The Qualcomm AI Engine packs a fused AI accelerator architecture and dedicated, shared AI memory for faster data transfer. Additionally, the company’s Sensing Hub enables context-based audio analytics for automatic mic switching and volume control.
Triple-threat capture:
The Qualcomm Spectra ISP features a 14-bit triple ISP capable of simultaneous capture from three cameras with fast processing of up to 2 gigapixels per second. It also captures photos in up to 200MP for lifelike detail and sharp contrast.
Smooth connectivity:
With the support of both mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies, the Snapdragon X53 delivers multi-gigabit, truly global 5G for low-latency gaming, streaming, and more.
The FastConnect 6700 provides Wi-Fi 6 up to 2.9 Gbps with substantial capacity over the 6 GHz spectrum with integrated Bluetooth 5.2.
Samsung Galaxy A74 to use Snapdragon 782G?
At the present time, the company has not revealed which devices will use the new Snapdragon 782G chipset. However, looking at its specs and other features, it’s likely to fit the upcoming upper mid-range Samsung Galaxy A74 smartphone.
This chipset will let customers experience high-powered 5G gaming, low-latency Bluetooth audio, immersive video calls, and premium photography.
Galaxy M35 boasts a vapor cooling chamber seen in Samsung flagships. The company is set to launch the new phone right a week after next week’s Unpacked event. Meanwhile, Amazon published the phone’s landing page, revealing many key specs and features.
Samsung will launch the new smartphone on July 17 through Amazon. The phone is expected to go on sale during Amazon’s Prime Day on July 20-21st. The company highlights Galaxy M35 5G’s vapor chamber cooling, signature design, Gorilla Glass Victus protection, and so on.
A vapor cooling chamber is used for better heat dissipation, probably reducing the overheating of the Exynos 1380 chipset. Keeping the application processor cool, the phone will make full use of its CPU and GPU, delivering the smooth graphics experience that you deserve.
The Galaxy M35 sports a 120Hz Super AMOLED display with 1000nits brightness. It will pack a 6000mAh battery for long-lasting entertainment. The battery can be charged with a 25W fast charging adapter, however, you need to purchase it separately.
Samsung also confirmed the Galaxy M5 has a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. It features a 13-megapixel camera for selfies, supports nightography and the primary camera has OIS support.
Details related to price and availability will be officially confirmed on the launch date, i.e. July 17 through Amazon.
Galaxy AI has many features that make flagship Samsung phones like new. Debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung’s Galaxy AI has been released for the most popular premium phones, foldables, and tablets.
In May 2024, Samsung upgraded all the 2023 flagship phones, tablets, and foldables with Galaxy AI features. Earlier in June 2024, the company further expanded the AI features with One UI 6.1 update to flagships released in 2022.
Galaxy AI brings both on-device and cloud-based artificial intelligence features. Older Pixel smartphone users are feeling robbed as they are not getting the AI advancements that Google announced with the Pixel 8 Pro.
Samsung’s Galaxy AI brings many cool features such as Live Translate, Interpreter, Generative Edit, Note Assist, Browsing Assist, Video Editor, Generative Wallpaper, and Circle to Search by Google.
Samsung devices getting Galaxy AI features
Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series benefited in the first phase of rollout. However, the second phase of Galaxy AI resumed after a slight break to the Galaxy S22 series.
The Galaxy S23 and other 2023 models widely received the update along with the Galaxy S22’s rollout. Initially available in South Korea, the AI-packed One UI upgrade is now available on your handset.

Google may opt for 3nm TSMC for the development of Pixel 10’s Tensor G5. Starting the first Tensor, Samsung has been manufacturing Google’s custom processors. However, the Foundry partnership would mark a halt (or an end) with the launch of Pixel 9’s Tensor G4.
According to CTEE, Google Pixel 9’s 3nm Tensor G5 has already been ordered to TSMC. However, the upcoming Tensor G4 is being fabricated on Samsung Foundry’s 4nm process. As the chip is ordered, Google may have finalized the design of the Tensor G5.
Samsung Foundry is facing yield issues with its 3nm process technology. It was reported that the 3nm yield is just 20%, which is not adequate for greenlit mass production. It is also harming Samsung’s Exynos plans, with Galaxy S25 reportedly using MediaTek’s SoC.
Thanks to the 3nm process, Google’s future flagships will offer massive performance and power efficiency improvements. Meanwhile, time will tell whether the Pixel maker has chosen TSMC’s N3E (second-generation 3nm) or N3P (third-generation 3nm) process.
Qualcomm has already switched to TSMC due to overheating and performance issues in Snapdragon chips. Not only mobile chipmakers, but big giants like Nvidia, have also ditched Samsung. This would further widen the gap between TSMC and Samsung Foundry.
