News & Reviews:   snapdragon 8 gen 1

Qualcomm has revealed that its Snapdragon mobile processor lineup will be used by Samsung in its upcoming flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. Moreover, Qualcomm also revealed that the Galaxy S23 series will be Snapdragon-exclusive, meaning that Samsung won’t be utilising its in-house Exynos chipsets for the flagship series next year.

Besides the TSMC-produced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, we might also be seeing the 4G variant at the upcoming announcement. According to a well-known tipster named Shadow_Leak, the chip is being prepared though not much information is given.

In the span of a few weeks, major chip companies all released their latest mobile chipsets. There's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, MediaTek Dimensity 9000, and the most recent Exynos 2200. It's hard to say which chipset is the best, but new benchmarks could answer this question.

In our smartphone reviews, we tend to show a benchmark score to portray its performance capability. While a benchmark isn't everything, it does show a good indicator of a chipset's level. For the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, it seems that its performance is now on par with Apple's A15 Bionic chipset.

After the much teased Snapdragon naming scheme, Qualcomm has officially unveiled the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 premium 5G mobile platform. As mentioned before in our previous news, the new Snapdragon 8 leads the way into a new era of premium mobile technology. This includes 5G, AI, mobile gaming, camera, WiFi and Bluetooth technologies. 

If you recall, Qualcomm announced that the next-gen Snapdragon will have a new name. While there's no official word yet, it's very likely to be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. On that note, the chipset may have gone through a benchmark test on AnTuTu with over 1 million points.
