Some time ago, Qualcomm officially announced that it will hold the 2024 Snapdragon Summit from October 21st to 23rd, when it will release the new generation Snapdragon 8 Gen4 flagship chip.

According to the latest news from blogger @数码闲聊站, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be based on TSMC's 3nm process.

It uses Qualcomm's self-developed Nuvia CPU architecture: 2*4.09GHz+6*2.78GHz; integrated with Adreno 830 GPU, "the performance of mass-produced machines will be even stronger."

According to the analysis of the leaked information, the CPU main frequency of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has exceeded 4 GHz, which is a significant improvement in performance compared to the main frequency of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 3.3 GHz.

At the same time, the blogger revealed a set of QRD engineering machine running score data equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor. The data showed that the single-core score of the machine was 2884 points and the multi-core score was 8840 points.

Overall, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has a stronger performance advantage in multi-core application scenarios and is expected to bring users a smoother and more realistic graphics processing experience.

While the performance has been improved, there are reports that the price of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip will increase by 25~30% compared to the current Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor.

Blogger @数码闲聊站 previously revealed that "the new Snapdragon 8G4 sub-series phones are basically rolling up the battery and screen, with a slight upgrade in imaging, and even a step backwards. In addition, the cost of the first batch of 8G4 has increased, and there are many with knife-like texture. 8G3 users can wait and see..."

Combined with the information revealed by the blogger, the non-flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen4 new phones are mainly focused on improving battery life and screen performance, and may only have minor improvements in the camera. The functions of some of these phones may be downgraded compared to previous generations of phones.

Industry insiders speculate that due to the rising cost of chips, some non-flagship phones may use plastic frames instead of metal frames. However, the authenticity of the relevant news needs further investigation, so everyone can stay tuned.

According to relevant information, the Xiaomi 15 series will be the first to launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, followed by new phones such as the iQOO 13 series, OPPO Find X8 Ultra, Honor Magic7, and OnePlus 13.

Among them, Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro will adjust the appearance design, equipped with a silicon negative electrode battery with a capacity of about 6000mAh, a 50Mp ultra-large bottom fixed large aperture main camera + 50Mp 5X new periscope on the rear, and support the latest AI large model super-resolution algorithm.

The iQOO 13 series will be equipped with a 1.5K 8T LTPO screen, adopt a straight screen design, a screen resolution of 2800×1260, and will be available in 16GB+1TB version.

OPPO Find X8 Ultra will adopt a thin and light body design, is expected to use frosted glass material, equipped with a 2K curved screen, and a rear 50-megapixel quad-camera combination. The ultra-telephoto lens may no longer use the previous IMX858 small-bottom CMOS and will be equipped with a large-capacity glacier battery.

The Honor Magic7 standard version is equipped with a 1.5K display, a built-in large-capacity silicon battery, and a rear 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50H main camera + a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope + a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.

OnePlus 13 will adopt a metal middle frame + glass body design, a 2K iso-depth micro-curved display, support for single-point ultrasonic waves, a rear 50MP periscope triple camera, a new silicon super-large battery + 100-watt flash charging technology, and may bring a 24GB + 1TB storage version.

Overall, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen4 phones will be improved in terms of battery life, performance, screen, etc., and will be released before the end of the year. The change in chip prices may have a certain impact on the cost control and product pricing of mobile phone manufacturers, and consumers may have to increase their purchase budget.
