Snapdragon 8 Gen4's Exclusive Launch Period Becomes History, Three Brands to Release Flagship Phones in October, Battle Imminent!

Kuaitech, September 6th - Digital blogger "Digital Chat Station" revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, this year, will break the traditional exclusive launch period and be featured in flagship phones from multiple brands in October. It is known that Xiaomi and iQOO will join this "early race", with the third brand yet to be unveiled.

Looking back, Snapdragon 8 series chips often have exclusive launch periods, like the Xiaomi 11 released in December 2020. By being the first to feature the Snapdragon 888 platform, it became the only Snapdragon 8 flagship phone available in large quantities before the Spring Festival. However, as competition in the mobile phone market intensifies, the exclusivity of the Snapdragon 8 series gradually fades away. Every brand is eager to be the first to launch a phone equipped with the latest flagship chip.

According to reports, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 phones launching in October include the Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro, and iQOO 13. Following closely, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 flagship phones like the Redmi K80 Pro, Honor Magic7 series, OnePlus 13, Realme GT7 Pro, and Nubia Z70 Ultra will be fully available in November, marking the beginning of a fierce battle among flagship phones.

As Qualcomm's most powerful mobile chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is the first to adopt TSMC's second-generation 3nm process technology and introduce the self-developed Oryon CPU, breaking away from the traditional Arm public architecture. It is reported that the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 utilizes a 2+6 core architecture, with the super-large core reaching a maximum frequency of 4.37GHz, a significant improvement compared to the previous generation's 3.3GHz.

Besides powerful CPU performance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 also integrates the Adreno 830 GPU and supports GPU frame interpolation technology. This GPU's super-resolution and frame interpolation technology can replace external independent display chips, bringing users a gaming experience comparable to native high frame rates.

With the disappearance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4's exclusive launch period, major brands will engage in fierce competition, offering consumers a wider and more diverse selection of flagship phones. This "battle" of flagship phones will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the mobile phone market and make consumers even more eager for the technological innovations and product experiences that different brands will bring in the future.
