Qualcomm just shared a sneak peek at its top Android phones of 2022 and beyond.
Unboxing the world's FIRST Next-Gen 2022 phone.
The manufacturing giant announced its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone processor chip at its annual Snapdragon Tech Summit, with further details released in a blog post from the company. This successor to last year’s Snapdragon 888 looks to have a lot of bells and whistles under the hood.
Aside from the new single-digit nomenclature, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the company's first chip to use Arm's ARMv9 architecture, featuring an eight-core Kryo CPU, including one primary core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores.
There’s also a new Adreno GPU, which promises 30 percent faster graphics rendering, and a new control panel for fine-tuning how games run. Overall, the company says the chip offers 20 percent more performance and 30 percent better power efficiency than last year’s model.
