This time, the company is announcing the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, the latest-generation member of their relatively new Snapdragon 7+ lineup of SoCs.

Clocked at 2.8GHz, it’s not pushing the same 3GHz+ clockspeeds of the Snapdragon 8 SoCs, but it still means that the 7pG3 comes with the most powerful CPU core Qualcomm offers on their mobile chips today. However, Qualcomm’s spec sheets don’t show the generation of NPU IP used on the 7pG3 as being significantly different from the 7pG2, So as with the 8sG3, this appears to driven more by software enablement than it is hardware functionality. In terms of raw features and resolution limits, things are unchanged from the previous generation – 4K60 video capture and photos up to 200MP – but the image processing capabilities have been improved under the hood.
