News & Reviews:   Snapdragon 888 Plus

Today, Qualcomm Technologies Inc. kicked off the first day of the Mobile World Congress 2021 with a new announcement about Snapdragon 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform. As a follow up to the current Snapdragon 888 chipset, here's what we know so far about the news.

It's have been months since Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 888 and many are starting to wonder if there will be a Plus variant. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case. But there's a recent rumour about a 4G-only variant, which is dubbed the Snapdragon 888 Pro.

In most years, Qualcomm launches a new flagship chipset around the end of the year that is followed by a Plus variant soon. Strangely, that hasn't happened for the Snapdragon 888 chipset this year. Instead, Qualcomm seems to be taking its time with the Snapdragon 888+.
