From November 14th to November 17th this year, Qualcomm will hold the Snapdragon Technology Summit. At that time, Qualcomm will most likely release the next-generation flagship chip of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. After that, various mobile phone manufacturers will also gradually release new flagship mobile phones, which means that this year, mobile phone manufacturers will release three generations of flagship phones a year.
According to Weibo blogger @Digital Chat Station broke the news today because the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 (SM8550) chip itself uses TSMC's 4nm process technology, next year's flagship chip will not have a major update for half a year like this year. The half-year Snapdragon 8+ Gen2 chip is only overclocked on the basis of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip. Therefore, next year, the product line of mobile phone manufacturers will also return to normal. It will not release three generations of flagships a year like this year, but a heavyweight flagship in the first half and the second half of the year.
Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip this year after releasing the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip, which uses TSMC’s 4nm process technology. Since the power consumption of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip has been greatly improved compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 manufactured by Samsung, various mobile phone manufacturers have actively launched new flagship phones equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip in the middle of this year.
According to the blogger's revelations on August 25, the first batch of mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is planned to be released after Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit. It is tentatively scheduled for the second half of November, and the blogger said that the progress of the first manufacturers is OK. According to the news, the Xiaomi Mi 13 series, Redmi K60 series, Vivo X90 series, etc. will all be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor.
