5G SA Only
5G Standalone (5G SA) Only:
The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 is designed exclusively for 5G Standalone networks. As more telecommunications companies worldwide transition to 5G SA, this chip aligns perfectly with that trend.
However, it’s essential to note that if your mobile operator still relies on 5G Non-Standalone (5G NSA) networks, phones equipped with this processor may not be the best fit. Compatibility matters!
Peak Speeds and Carrier Aggregation:
The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 lacks carrier aggregation, which impacts its maximum speed. Specifically, it achieves a peak download speed of 1 Gbps for a single 5G band.
In other words, if you’re in an area with robust 5G SA coverage, you can enjoy blazing-fast speeds. But if 5G SA isn’t available, the chip will gracefully fall back to 4G connectivity.
Xiaomi, a key OEM, is among the first to embrace the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2. Xiaomi’s will be first to commercial launch a device before the end of 2024.
In summary, the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 is more than just a mobile platform; it’s an enabler of progress, bridging the gap between affordability and cutting-edge technology. Get ready for a new era of mobile experiences!
