Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will most likely be the name of the premium mobile chip from the company since it announced a new naming template for its chips. Ahead of the November 30 official announcement of the name changes to the Qualcomm Snapdragon lineup and the unveiling of its new chips, rumors on the debut devices remain rife. It is alleged that three upcoming premium ZTE smartphones will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
Xiaomi and Motorola have been some of the other OEMs that have been mentioned to deploy the new chipset in their models. The high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is rumored to be used by ZTE’s upcoming gaming-oriented smartphone lineup – the nubia Red Magic 7 and Red Magic 7 Pro, as well as the Nubia Z40. While the source of the leak is not fully specified, we cannot confirm at this time, other key details relating to these models are rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip.
An official announcement from Qualcomm itself or from the smartphone maker itself will clarify all the doubts and uncertainty regarding the debut of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. It is also unclear when these models will hit the market and their pricing details. The November 30 Qualcomm event will illuminate some of these details at least.
