LLM models can run up to 20 tokens/sec*, one of the fastest in the smartphone industry, so your personal AI assistant can respond to you swiftly, adds Qualcomm. There is Qualcomm Sensing Hub with 3.5x AI performance increase and the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU performance is 98% faster with up to 40% performance/watt improvements compared to the predecessor.
There are 12 layers of Spectra 18-bit triple Cognitive ISP. The Video Object Eraser by Arcsoft for video capture removes unwanted people and
objects. Two always-sensing cameras in the front and back allow for easy QR code scanning, face unlock, and more. Zoom Anyplace, powered by Samsung’s first 200 MP image sensor optimized for Snapdragon, allows capture of multiple videos, object tracking, and 2x and 4x zoom—all in 4K
It has Snapdragon X75 5G Modem RF System, designed with AI hardware acceleration. This is the world’s first 5G modem with an integrated AI tensor hardware accelerator achieves better speeds, coverage, mobility, link robustness, and location accuracy, said Qualcomm. It supports Wi-Fi 7 offering up to 5.8 Gbps speed and dual Bluetooth connectivity for sustained immersion, thanks to new Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Mobile Connectivity System. It is also the only Wi-Fi system supporting High Band Simultaneous Multi-Link for blazing fast, low-latency performance.
