The first foldable phone in the world was announced last week which utilizes the rarely seen Snapdragon 8150. Gsmarena.com shared from Geekbench the early performance of the chipset. Rumour has it that the chipset is a 2+2+4 instead of the standard 4+4. So far, only the the Kirin 980 uses a similar design consisting of 2 cores for burst performance, 2 to sustain speed and the last smaller 4 cores for lighter tasks.

According to the results from the article, the Snapdragon 8150 shows a lot of improvement from its previous version. However, its single core performance is lacking. Despite that, it is still too early to tell how accurate these results are.

Also in development are what could be Qualcomm's mid-range processors, the Snapdragon 6150 and Snapdragon 7150. According to Gizmochina.com, both chipsets are octa-core processors but it is likely that they will come with different GPU, CPU cores and clock speeds.

The Snapdragon 7150 is the more powerful chip among the two. Information on Github shows that the chip was tested on a device with a 12MP+13MP dual rear camera and a 20MP front facing camera with with a QHD+ display screen. Most devices at mid and upper mid range are usually on HD+ and FHD+ so this likely shows us that the chipset may be more powerful than it seems. Other than that, there is no information available about the features that potential phones may be able to utilize with this chipset.

The Snapdragon 6150 was tested on a similar setup to the Snapdragon 7150 but with a 13MP selfie camera. The main display of the device is FHD+ with a resolution of 2160x1080 and is reportedly 5.99 inches. Reported by Winfuture.de, the Snapdragon 6150 is built on an 11nm mode. We expect to see these chipsets announced by next year but do take these rumours with a pinch of salt and stay tuned to Technave.com for all of your tech news needs!
