Microchip and Snapdragon logo displayed on screen (Photo by Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via GettyIn previous years, Qualcomm has offered a mid-cycle Snapdragon 8 Plus model, which takes advantage of recent techniques and capabilities to provide a performance bump heading into the second half of the calendar year. This is not that chipset.
The 8s Gen 3 is pitched slightly below the current Snapdragon 8, sports one less performance core, and runs at a slower speed. It’s clearly targeted towards the tier just below the flagship system-on-chip. Thanks to specs that almost match the top-line hardware but at a more affordable price, it will be perfect for handsets colloquially known as flagship killers.
While some manufacturers prefer to use the previous year’s design in their affordable flagships, the 8s Gen 3 has a clear hardware advantage in one area: artificial intelligence.
Smartphones supporting the chipset are expected from Honor, iQOO, Realme and Xiaomi in the next few months.
