Snapdragon 750G is manufactured under Samsung's 8nm process node. It uses 2x Cortex-A77 cores at 2.2GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz.

It is paired with the Adreno 619 GPU with 10 percent improvement over Adreno 618. It also has the Hexagon 694 HVX + Tensor with 4TOPS, Dual Spectra 355L ISP, 10-bit HDR pipelines, and the same Snapdragon X52 integrated 5G modem with SA/NSA.
