The chipset will be manufactured on TSMC's 4nm process.
The CPU configuration remains similar to the Snapdragon 4 Gen 5: two Cortex-A78 performance cores with 256KB L2 cache each and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores with 64KB L2 each, sharing a 1MB L3 cache.
While not a radical redesign, it aims to improve daily performance and battery life.
GPU and Memory Upgrades
The most notable upgrade is the GPU, moving from the Adreno 4 series to the newer Adreno 6 series.

Given that the Gen 5 already delivered a reported 77% graphics boost over its predecessor, the Gen 6 could bring further gains in gaming, animations, and media playback on affordable phones.
Memory support now includes dual-channel LPDDR5 at 3200MHz, while retaining compatibility with LPDDR4X for flexible or cost-effective configurations.
This extra bandwidth should enhance multitasking and app loading speeds.
Connectivity options include either the WCN3998-2 (Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth 5.2) or the premium WCN6750 with Wi-Fi 6 support, depending on manufacturer choices.

Security features encompass hardware-based ECC image certification, Widevine L1 for better streaming, and a new Trust Management Engine.
The chipset comes in a larger PSP917 package measuring 11.1 x 12.0 mm, likely to accommodate the added capabilities.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 5, launched earlier this year, already brought GPU improvements and stronger 5G on the same 4nm node.
The Gen 6 appears to be a natural evolution, refining existing features while adding better memory and graphics muscle.
