The king will still live. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus will dethrone Qualcomm’s current platform later than expected

The king will still live. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus will dethrone Qualcomm’s current platform later than expected

The single-chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus system, which will appear in the new flexible Samsung smartphones, will be delayed in entering the market.

Initially, Qualcomm planned to announce the platform in May, but now the dates have been pushed back. The source says the final decision will come out in the second half of the year. These are very vague dates, but the same Galaxy Z Flip4 and Fold4 are expected in late August or early September, so Qualcomm’s new product should already be ready by that time.

The timing shift is due to the aggravation of the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Because of this, factories are closed and the plans of many companies are violated. Recall that the first smartphone with the new Qualcomm SoC should be the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. Considering that the Edge 30 Pro was the first to get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, this looks like a good bet.

The source of information in this case is the Digital Chat Station insider, who, among other things, was the first to accurately report the characteristics and release dates of Redmi K30, K40, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 11.
