Many flagship Android smartphones of 2022 use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset (or Plus upgrade). Rumor has it that its successor could arrive before the end of the year, bringing with it a significant performance upgrade.
According to reliable leakster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8 Gen will come in an “ultra high frequency version” with clock speeds of up to 2.3.4-3.5 GHz. However, there will be bigger performance gains in terms of graphics capabilities. It is claimed that the graphics performance of the new Android phones, in particular, can exceed the performance of the Apple A16 Bionic chip in the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Qualcomm will reveal everything about the next generation chipset and what this processor can do at the Snapdragon Summit, which will be held on November 15 – 17. Then we will start to see the first examples on Android phones.
Of course, it should not be forgotten that smartphone performance depends not only on the raw speed of the processor, but also on multiple factors. The efficiency of software coding, the amount of RAM available and thermal management also play an important role. When talking about speed and efficiency in its phones, Apple claims that its strength is largely due to the harmony between the entire software and hardware design process.
