Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon chip aims to bring 5G to sub-$100 devices

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Qualcomm Tuesday announced the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2. The entry-level chip aims to make 5G accessible to 2.8 billion smartphone users in price-sensitive markets, including India and Latin America.

Manufacturers lately have struggled to attract feature phone buyers in India, the world’s second-biggest smartphone market, primarily due to a lack of 5G models in the sub-$100 segment.

According to IDC, this entry-level segment in the Indian smartphone market declined by 14% year-on-year to 15% share, with 5.1 million smartphone units shipped in the first quarter. China’s Xiaomi and spin-off brand Poco continue to lead the segment. Overall, the country’s smartphone market grew 11% year-on-year to 34 million, dominated by the $200-$400 segment.

The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chip is a feature limited version of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, which was launched in June last year. Based on the 4nm process technology, the new chip includes an octa-core Kryo CPU, which comprises two performance cores that support up to 2GHz clock speed and six efficiency cores at up to 1.8GHz.

The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 also lacks support for 5G networks in the non-standalone 5G deployment mode, which is currently widespread and allows telcos to offer high-speed connectivity using their existing network assets. The new chip instead supports connectivity through the standalone 5G deployment.

In India, Jio is the only telecom operator offering 5G networks in standalone mode. However, Airtel, the second largest telecom in the country, will launch a version in the future.

Cost cutting measures have helped Qualcomm reduce the price of its Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chip, enabling it for future lower-end 5G phones in India and other emerging markets.

‘Some concerns remain — what is the benefit to this user to migrate to 5G, the additional cost for device/plan, or any compromises he needs to make in the smartphone feature set in order to have a lower-priced 5G smartphone?’ Kaur explains. ‘But I do think more support from the component side will help OEMs and also drive more competition in the lower price segment to build some momentum here.’
