    Snapdragon 8s Gen 4: Android OEMs Using Qualcomm’s New Chipset

    Key Takeaways

    1. Qualcomm unveiled its Snapdragon 8 series chipset ahead of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ presentation.
    2. Realme confirmed it will use MediaTek’s upcoming chipset in a follow-up to the Realme GT6, priced at $496.99.

    Qualcomm revealed its new Snapdragon 8 series chipset yesterday, just days ahead of MediaTek’s presentation of the Dimensity 9400+ at the upcoming Dimensity Developer Conference (MDDC 2025). Currently, two Android manufacturers have confirmed they will utilize MediaTek’s upcoming high-end chipset, with Realme being the latest to announce a follow-up to the Realme GT6, which is priced at $496.99 on Amazon.

    Qualcomm’s Strategy

    In the past, Qualcomm has hinted at which Android manufacturers are on board with their new chipsets. This was evident last year with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, for the launch of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, it seems the company has chosen not to disclose this information.

    Insights from Digital Chat Station

    Despite Qualcomm’s silence, Digital Chat Station has shared some information regarding when we might see smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. It appears that iQOO will be the first to release the Z10 Turbo Pro later this month, coinciding with the launch of the Dimensity 8400-equipped Z10 Turbo.

    Digital Chat Station also mentions that the Z10 Turbo Pro will soon face competition from devices made by Meizu, Oppo, Redmi, and Xiaomi. However, specific details about these rival products remain unclear. According to recent leaks and rumors, both the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and Civi 5 Pro are possible contenders for being the first smartphones from Redmi and Xiaomi to feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It is likely that Android manufacturers will start releasing teasers related to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in the coming week.

  • Realme GT7 Pro Camera Specs and Exclusive Display Leak Revealed

    Realme GT7 Pro Camera Specs and Exclusive Display Leak Revealed

    The Realme GT6 is a smartphone that has been flying off shelves in China, offering a budget-friendly option for those wanting Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performance.

    Camera Specifications

    However, not all purchasers might be drawn to its camera setup, which includes just two lenses: a 50MP primary camera utilizing the 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX906 sensor and an 8MP ultrawide lens.

    Rumors suggest that the upcoming GT7 Pro will keep the same camera components but will include an additional third lens dedicated to periscope zoom, according to the reliable leaker Digital Chat Station. While similar claims have been made before, this tipster has provided more details this time. The new lens is expected to be based on a 1/1.95-inch Sony IMX882 sensor, which is also present in the mid-range Realme 13 Pro+ (currently starting at INR 29,790 (~$354) on Amazon in India), if this information is accurate.

    Performance Enhancements

    This upgrade would mark an improvement over the GT5 Pro’s 2.7x periscope zoom, as the GT7 Pro is rumored to feature an optical zoom of 3x.

    Furthermore, it seems that Realme has invested in a display that is "exclusively" tuned by Samsung, boasting "excellent" color accuracy and advanced dimming modes that outshine the iPhone 16 Pro Max, as per Digital Chat Station’s claims. The GT7 Pro is anticipated to be launched in India towards the end of 2024, following its sooner release in China.
