Snapdragon S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1

Snapdragon S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 launched!

There are actually two chips introduced for audio. The Snapdragon S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 both support Bluetooth 5.4. The S7 Pro delivers micro-power WiFi with a speed of up to 29Mbps to achieve a fast and high range far beyond what Bluetooth can do. Qualcomm also promises a seamless switching between Bluetooth connection and WiFi.

The S7 Pro Gen 1 can also deliver 192kHz support of lossless music thanks to the Qualcomm Expanded Personal Area Network tech. 

Hi-Res audio support!

Furthermore, the company claims users can listen to music or make calls while they walk around their home, any building, or campus in which a Bluetooth connection cannot.

Qualcomm says that the S7 and S7 Pro chips are capable of 6x compute power and 100x AI power by using a Micro NPU AI engine versus the previous generations.

The features

The two platforms also use top-tier on-device AI as per Qualcomm. This will aid hearing enhancement technologies to bring a seamless user experience by knowing and adapting to user needs throughout the day.

Finally, there are multiple DSP cores on board and a sensor hub accompanied by a 300 percent improvement increase in memory when compared to S5 Gen 2.
