News & Reviews:   Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Qualcomm officially unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset last month with some pretty impressive features and specs. Well, another version of the SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy that’s exclusive to Samsung flagship devices is set to be unveiled with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and may feature a considerable upgrade.

After the announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform by Qualcomm, it didn't take long for other smartphone brands and manufacturers to respond. At the moment, both OPPO, iQOO and a few others have confirmed that their next flagships will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon SoC. 

At the Snapdragon Conference, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. today announced its latest premium mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. According to Qualcomm, the latest processor is "a true titan in on-device intelligence, premium-level performance, and energy efficiency". 

Previously, we mentioned Qualcomm's launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Today, a leaker suggests that the new-gen SoC could cost more than $160 (~RM738.08). That’s because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could be priced at $160. Hence, we should expect the new SoC to cost more.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 hasn't been out for that long, but we're already getting news about its successor. An official update from Qualcomm has confirmed that the Snapdragon Summit will be held from 24-26 October 2023, making it about 3 weeks earlier than the one last year.
