Recently, it has become easier for people to access flagship devices. This is because Android devices with high-powered chips and flagship performance can be obtained at affordable prices. In the future, Qualcomm wants to make it even easier for people to get a new generation of flagship devices.
The Snapdragon 8s Elite chip has been leaked and is said to be launched in March. There are rumors that this is the chip for one of the devices in the Poco F7 series. According to Digital Chat Station, a famous Chinese leaker – this chip may be used by iQOO and REDMI first. Then, despite the Elite name on the chip, it does not use the same Oryon configuration as the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
In early tests, the Snapdragon 8s Elite was seen to have a slightly lower benchmark score than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In Geekbench 6, this chip has a single-core/multi-core score of 1,967/5,827. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip recorded a score of 2,200/7,000.
