Qualcomm has been on a roll and quite busy recently launching the X Elite series of processors for laptops. The semiconductor giant has unveiled a new mid-range Snapdragon processor, the 6s Gen 3. At first glance, it reminded us of the Snapdragon 695. Here's everything you need to know.

The craziest phone ever!

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is an octa-core SoC manufactured on a 6nm process. It has Kryo cores that operate at up to 2.3GHz max frequency, and like other "s" SoCs, the 6s Gen 3 comes with an AI engine that can be leveraged by various AI tasks on the device. Qualcomm hasn't shared detailed information about the cores and their clock speeds, which is a bummer.

The latest chip supports displays of up to 120Hz and FHD+ resolution. Network-wise, it supports Wi-Fi 4 and 5 through Qualcomm's FastConnect 6200 system.

There is support for Bluetooth 5.2, rear camera resolution of up to 108 MP and 1080p 60fps video playback. The memory and storage types supported are LPDDR4x and UFS 2.2. NFC support is also available.
