Qualcomm Presents Snapdragon 750G With Global 5G Network Coverage
Last updated June 20, 2021
- Qualcomm has introduced the Snapdragon 750G in the mobile chip market, covering the entire 5G band spectrum.
- This chip is comparable to the 765G and significantly better than the Snapdragon 690, capturing a strong position.
- Xiaomi is going to incorporate the new mobile processor on a device that’s planned to launch by the end of the year.
Qualcomm has presented Snapdragon 750G, the latest entry in its high-tier 7-Series, and it’s a processor focused on global 5G connectivity and HDR (10-bit color depth) gaming. Both of these focal points are critical in the current smartphone market, considering that 5G is to meant to help people access services like cloud gaming platforms that are so hot right now, so the 750G has a clear aim.

The modem that takes care of sub-6 and mmWave global 5G banding and multi-SIM is the X52. This is better than the X51 found in the more cost-conscious Snapdragon 690, and the same as what is found inside the Snapdragon 765G, supporting downlink speeds of up to 3.7 Gbps.
As for the power aspect, the 750G features eight Kryo 570 cores clocked at 2.2GHz, the Adreno 619 GPU, supports memory speeds of up to 2133 MHz and sizes of 12GB. All of this is quite comparable to the Snapdragon 765G, which is made on the 7nm fabrication process, however, and so it should run cooler and more efficiently.
Another amazing feature of the Snapdragon 750G is the AI engine (5th gen), which Qualcomm says its 20% “smarter” than the system used in 730G. One of the things that are enabled by this is the “Qualcomm Aqstic Echo Cancellation and Noise Suppression” (ECNS) technology, which can actively detect and cancel background noise.
From crying babies to jackhammers and from barking dogs to alarms going off, your interlocutor on the other end of the line will only hear your speech and nothing else. This is great for teleconference calls or in-game communication among team members.
In summary, we can say that the 750G is an excellent choice for vendors who want to market devices that feature global 5G coverage while remaining affordable, and also a clear step up from the Snapdragon 690. That said, we expect to see this chip beating inside many models by 2021, starting with Xiaomi, who said they plan to release a phone with 750G by the end of the year.
The only problem that remains for mobile connectivity, smartphone devices, and 5G network marketing is that the COVID-19 situation persists. There’s an increasing worry for a new wave of national lockdowns, so “global 5G coverage” doesn’t mean much in this context. Also, people who stay at home and work from there enjoy smart TV screens, desktops, laptops, and even tablets, so most of them will just postpone upgrading their smartphones for much later.
