### QCN6274 vs QCN6224: Technical compa**son

QCN6274 and QCN6224 are Qualcomm's 5G baseband chips, and they both support 5G NR (New Radio) and LTE (Long-Term Evolution) ***works. However, they differ in some ways.

First, the QCN6274 is Qualcomm's latest generation of 5G baseband chips, while the QCN6224 is the previous generation of chips. The QCN6274 uses a 7-nanometer process, while the QCN6224 uses a 10-nanometer process. This means that the QCN6274 is more advanced, efficient and energy efficient than the QCN6224.

Second, the QCN6274 supports higher 5G speeds and a wider range of frequency bands. It supports Sub-6GHz and millimeter wave bands, with a maximum download speed of 7.5Gbps and a maximum upload speed of 3Gbps. The QCN6224 only supports the Sub-6GHz band, with a maximum download speed of 2.5Gbps and a maximum upload speed of 316Mbps.

In addition, the QCN6274 supports more 5G features such as dynamic spectrum sha**ng (DSS), multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), and Super Access (SA). These features can improve the efficiency and performance of 5G ***works and provide users with a better ***work expe**ence.
