Oh snap, another midrange smartphone chip just dropped.

Qualcomm just announced the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3, sitting just below the also recently announced 8S Gen 3. It can run Llama 2 and Gemini Nano on-device and supports Wi-Fi 7. It’ll start appearing in phones in the next few months, and OnePlus says it will use the chipset in a device — my money’s on this guy.
