Based on initial reviews and testing from different reviews, the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 has been received rave reviews. Since the 7+ Gen 2 is actually a stripped down Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, rumors surface that the Snapdragon SM7550, its sequel, may pack a huge improvement.

Both Digital Chat Station and ExperienceMore Weibo tipsters hint that the upcoming SM7550 SoC, to launch late this year, will be a Snapdragon 7 processor based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. We’re assuming that this launch is actually after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 gets announced and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is demoted to a midrange processor, and SM7550 is based on it. Pretty similar on how the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and 7+ Gen 2 relationship is now. If correct, then the next Snapdragon 7 series chip will offer significant improvement once again and will continue the impressive midrange offerings brought by the 7+ Gen 2 for another year.
