The first should be Xiaomi
The first smartphone based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC may be released as early as October.
Qualcomm has been pushing back the announcement of new top-end SoCs for several years now, narrowing the gap between generations, and this year we may get the first models very early. Insider Digital Chat Station says that the first child should be expected in mid-October, although it is not yet clear whether we are talking about an announcement or about the start of sales. Let's remember that we previously said that the first smartphone with SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 should be released by Xiaomi, followed by OnePlus 13 and iQOO 13.
The insider also noted that the engineering samples that we have seen so far in various leaks use a low-frequency version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, that is, the production SoC will be faster.
Digital Chat Station was previously the first to accurately report the specifications and release dates of Redmi K30, K40, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 11.
