Qualcomm admits: the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is just an "enhanced version" of the Snapdragon 695

15 June 2024
Relaunching a chip that wasn't great even upon its initial introduction three years ago.

Sort by:

Getting old chips and bumping their clocks... and we wonder why snapdragons get so hot all the time and after 5min they have 50% of initial performance...

As well as to formally discontinue any chipsets not included in their new lineup. This is just a poor marketing scheme.

Even phones with G99 right now competes with inferior 685 phones.

                  I see the robots are hard at work defending this joke of a company. As always.

                  This fraud brand is the main reason your current "midrange" phones costs 800 bucks today, rather than 300.

                      🤣🤣🤣

                        Technically the same but cheaper.

                          I'll choose media take over snapdragon any day . specially is it's midrange or lower end device in flagship category snap is better

                            One rebrand is alright, considering how many times Mediatek rebranded G99/Dimensity 700.

                                      What kind of enhancement it has in comparison to SD695?

                                        Tech Guy, 15 Jun 2024Well If 6s Gen 3 had 4K Video Recording + TSMC 4nm + Adreno... moreSpot on. I had the Redmi Note 10 Pro before and the processor (732G) while not being very strong, it had everything I could need for general usage and multimedia playback/recording.
                                        You can't say the same about 695 or its rebrands.

                                        And we haven't touched the Snapdragon 680/685 subject which is even worse.
