Even cheaper Android phones will be AI-powered next year

Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.

AI power won't be exclusive to the best Android phones in 2024. It's coming to mid-range models too. By the end of the year it's going to be harder to find an Android that doesn't have impressive AI power than one without it.

It's all down to Qualcomm, who have just announced the latest mobile chipset to join their product range. It's called the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and, as you'd expect, it's the successor to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2. That's the processor you'll find in mid-range phones from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo and Motorola; Honor and Vive are already signed up to use the new generation, but Samsung is likely to stick to its own Exynos chips for its mid-range handsets.
