Qualcomm’s AI ambitions are expanding. The company has announced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. It is a new chipset that aims to bring powerful AI capabilities to mid-range and budget smartphones.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Will Bring Many AI Features to Mid-rangers

On-device AI is a key feature of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. It should offer real benefits for users. The technical details might seem overwhelming. But there are features like on-device multi-language translation, transcription, and call noise cancellation.
With on-device multi-language translation, users can quickly and easily translate text or speech. This can happen without relying on an internet connection. It would be useful for travelers or those who communicate with people from different language backgrounds. Noise cancellation technology is pretty straightforward. It helps to reduce background noise during phone calls and video conferences. Through that, you get clearer and more enjoyable conversations.
These AI-powered features demonstrate the potential of the 7s Gen 3. The chip can bring advanced capabilities to mid-range and budget smartphones. But, yes, most of it depends on the manufacturers. It’s rare to see smartphone manufacturers typically utilizing all the features that new chips bring.
Speaking of which, there’s no confirmation on when the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 smartphones are coming. But the good part is that we may see Chinese manufacturers announcing phones with the new chip later this year.
