Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. introduced four new mobile platforms - Snapdragon 778G Plus 5G, 695 5G, 480 Plus 5G, and 680 4G - to enable increased performance and capabilities across our high-, mid-, and entry-tiers. These 5G and 4G mobile platforms enable increased performance and capabilities to provide OEMs with additional options to help meet the existing demand.

There is significant traction and momentum across all Snapdragon tiers. By bringing cutting-edge features from the Snapdragon 8-series into the 7-, 6-, and 4-series, it is contributing to the growing demand across each Snapdragon series. The Snapdragon 7-series has grown by 44% in the last year alone due to tremendous high-tier demand. In the 6-series, consumer trends are emerging that show mid-tier smartphones will be the main driver for 5G adoption especially in emerging regions. Additionally, after less than one year, there have been more than 85 devices announced or in development based on the Snapdragon 480.

Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G Mobile Platform

In less than a year, more than 85 devices have been announced or are currently in development based on Snapdragon 480. Building upon that success, Snapdragon 480 Plus will continue to help drive further proliferation of 5G, allowing users access to truly global 5G connectivity and boosted performance to power in-demand productivity and entertainment experiences.

Snapdragon 680 4G Mobile Platform

The new Snapdragon 680 4G Mobile Platform, which is built on 6 nm process technology, is designed to deliver compelling all-day experiences, including optimized gaming and triple ISP featuring AI-enhanced low light capture technology.

Which means, lets use almost the same old tech, but add 5G and slap on it 20% increase. Now lets wait for new phones which performance overall will be the same. This is apple level innovation. If I did understand the information right.

I've always been more curious about the 6 and 7 series. You can get some really great, cost-effective devices built around them. Quite often for $300 or less, without any subsidies.

Right? I'd expect at least a 5nm die shrink to reduce power consumption, this is rebrandeon tier effort.
