Qualcomm has announced and detailed its Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 mobile platform this week. The platform itself is a combination of Kryo CPU, Adreno GPU, Snapdragon X62 5G modem RF system and a host of other technologies.

Speaking of streaming, the updated modem offers 5G download speeds of up to 4.4Gbps. and 5G/4G Dual Sim Dual Active support when using two SIM cards at the same time. Mobile phones using this platform should also offer a better photography experience. According to Qualcomm documentation, the 18-bit Qualcomm Spectra Triple ISP (Image Signal Processor) can capture 4,000x more data than a 14-bit ISP for extreme dynamic range photos and videos.
