News & Reviews:   snapdragon 7 gen 1

Samsung may be gearing up for the release of a new mid-ranger soon, as the device, the Samsung Galaxy C55, was just spotted on Geekbench. The listing also revealed some of its key specs, so read on to find out more.

Previously, we reported that Qualcomm is expected to launch the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset early next year. However, the company surprised us today by announcing the new mid-range chipset, which will hopefully power many devices.

The OPPO Reno 8 series launch is just around the corner with several promotions appearing online. But before the launch, OPPO has just confirmed that the OPPO Reno 8 Pro will indeed be the world's first phone to feature a new Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset.

At last, Qualcomm has introduced the successor of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip today. It turns out that we have been calling it the wrong name, as the company put the plus sign after the eight rather than one, so it's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

We had received two different predictions regarding the launch of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset, with one mentioning that it'll launch in H2 2022 while the other one claims that the smartphones with the chip are arriving next month. Now, we might be able to confirm that the latter is likely to happen as Qualcomm has announced an event on 20 May.

A previous report claims that the upcoming OPPO Reno8 will be the first to get powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Until now, the device has finally surfaced on Geekbench and further proves the speculation.

Not long ago, we saw the news that Qualcomm will also rebrand its Snapdragon 7 series chip. It's said that the semiconductor manufacturer is preparing to launch the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, with a naming formula similar to the current flagship chip. Now, we might be able to know which smartphone will come with it first, and it's the OPPO Reno8.

Most of us know that Qualcomm is currently preparing to launch the TSMC variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, namely Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. However, we didn't know that the semiconductor manufacturer is secretly working on another chip as well, and it's the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
