Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3
A 2024 nameplate on familiar silicon: the 6s Gen 3 is essentially the Snapdragon 695 formula with a 2.3 GHz bump, built on 6nm with two Cortex-A78 cores and an Adreno 619. It exists so sub-$200 5G phones have something current-sounding to print on the box.
Pros
- Cheap, proven 5G platform
- Decent efficiency on 6nm
- A78 prime cores still hold up for daily apps
Cons
- Rebadge-grade progress over the 695
- Adreno 619 is entry-level in 2026
- LPDDR4X memory only
Below average
