Xiaomi will be the first to launch Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 phones
- The Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro will be the first to launch with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, according to tipster Yogesh Brar.
- However, the chipset won’t launch until October this year so there’s still ample time left for the Xiaomi flagships to debut.
- The Xiaomi 15 series will be followed by flagships from OnePlus (OnePlus 13) and iQOO (iQOO 13).
- The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is tipped to be the most expensive smartphone chipset when it arrives. This means the cost of flagships this year might also see a slight price hike.
- The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to feature 2 big Phoenix CPU cores and 6 medium Phoenix CPU cores.
- The chipset will be manufactured by TSMC and will use the 2nd gen 3nm process node (N3E).
