If a company can offer the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 for 20k or under, then there would be no competition for that phone. The Snapdragon series is an open-source project supporting custom ROMs. Many people prefer this processor compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 or 778G. I believe the 7 Gen 3 will be a major upgrade over the 778G. The 7+ Gen 2 is a solid processor with an Adreno 725 GPU, ideal for hardcore gaming, and found in phones under 30k like the Poco F5. However, many people can't afford it. They'd likely choose the 7 Gen 3 with an Adreno 720 GPU, a compelling processor that can dominate MediaTek processors in the mid-range market.

LOL, dominate MediaTek? The MTK 8300 destroys the 8+ Gen 1. What are you even talking about? Snapdragon also has motherboard issues! 🤣

I sincerely thought that the 7+ Gen 2 marked the beginning of Qualcomm's comeback as the king of mid-range SoCs, being virtually on par with the 8+ Gen 1 in terms of CPU performance. The only area where it fell short was in its GPU capabilities, which is completely understandable given that the 8+ Gen 1 remains the flagship after all. I had anticipated that they would maintain this trend with the 7 Gen 3, so it was quite disappointing to learn that the 7+ Gen 2 might be the last of its kind for Qualcomm. It appears that such performance and power will be exclusive to the 8 series henceforth. I genuinely hope Qualcomm reconsiders this approach. In my opinion, they had figured out a successful formula with the 7+ Gen 2 by making it less powerful in the graphics department, but still adequately powerful overall. Meanwhile, the 8 series can continue as their top-tier offering, even if the 7 series manages to match their CPU performance.

I assume there must be a 7+ Gen 3 as well. You can't consider 7 Gen 3 a successor to 7+ Gen 2. Also, I'm unsure about the existence of 7 Gen 2, but 7 Gen 1 was definitely a weak processor.

The 7gen3 is set to be the equivalent of the 778g for the year 2023: a well-balanced, mid-range chip. A significant number of new phones are expected to feature this chip. The previous model, 7+gen2, didn't perform as expected, leading Qualcomm to cease its production.

Why didn't the 7th generation plus 2 perform as anticipated? I believe Snapdragon realized that it was too powerful for their own good. If they had continued producing such potent 7th generation phones, no one would have moved on to the 8th generation ones.

Wrong Antutu V10 Snapdragon 7 Gen 3! Real results (from Honor 100): 863489, where CPU: 258407, GPU: 270974, MEM: 177163, UX: 156945.

Well, the 7+ Gen 2 is superior to the 7 Gen 3. However, it is significantly better than the 7 Gen 1 overall.

I certainly believe Qualcomm should have worked harder to make the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 superior and faster than the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2. Even the name of the system on a chip (SoC) doesn't seem right. Ideally, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 should look something like this: 1 x Cortex X3 @ 3.25 GHz + 3 x Cortex A720 @ 2.85 GHz + 4 x Cortex A520 @ 2.15 GHz with an Adreno 735 GPU. This setup would be approximately 20% - 30% faster than Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2's GPU. It should certainly be able to outperform the Snapdragon 8/8+ Gen 1 in CPU performance, while its GPU should be at least as powerful as the Adreno 730 in the SD 8+ Gen 1, if not even more so.

No, you don't understand. They made changes to increase competitiveness, and the 7 G3 makes much more sense than the 7 +G2. The entire objective of the 7 series is to be competitive in the mid-range sector. They made a mistake with the 7 +G2 - it effectively made the 8 series seem overpriced. Moreover, the 7 +G2 was based on the 8 + G1 architecture, rendering it the same processor and practically the same price too. So, it's logical that the 7 G3 performs worse because, at the end of the day, this chip is designed for mid-range smartphones. It should also be reasonably priced for this segment. The 7 series are intended to be less powerful than the 8 series. Just imagine if an i7 outperformed an i9, no one would purchase the i9. So, their recent move is logical. What didn't make sense was the 7 +G2. So, yeah.

You really can't continue to expect the specs of the 8 series for the 7 series every year, within the same price range. Also, chip performance upgrades are likely to plateau in the coming years, with only basic improvements. This chip is already powerful enough and comparable to the flagship models from a couple of years ago. The 8 series might be overkill anyway. The 7+ Gen2 was a fortunate success we managed to achieve, but realistically, this can't be continued from a business perspective. Of course, in an ideal world, I would prefer everything to be as cheap as possible.

There's just no comparison here. The Gen 2 of 7+ was so good (it was an underclocked Gen 1 of 8+) that Qualcomm had to quietly dial back their 7 series to stay competitive. Truly magnificent.

You know your product offers incredible value when people are begging for more. However, you can't continue supplying it if it's not going to be profitable for you.
