The aim of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 and 7 lines has been to expand premium features to less expensive handsets, particularly in places like China. Most people cannot afford to shell out big money for a new phone, but essentially everyone wants a powerful camera in a phone, as well as advanced AI and other capabilities.
As CNET's Jessica Dolcourt has described, Snapdragon 7 series chips power devices that could be considered "premium light." while the Snapdragon 6 series is aimed at midrange devices. The new processors won't be in the upcoming Galaxy Note 10, for example, but instead could appear in slightly less pricey devices from companies such as Motorola, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi. The new $300 Moto G7, for instance, uses the Snapdragon 632, which was unveiled last summer.
