Previously reported that a source in the supply chain revealed that mobile phones equipped with  Android‘s flagship chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will be available in June at the earliest and July at the latest. The first devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will launch in China, but no names have been revealed yet.

If Redmi launches a small iterative model, then the high probability will still belong to the Redmi K50 series. How competitive do you think this model is. Earlier news said that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will be based on TSMC’s 4nm semiconductor manufacturing process, which may be very similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but the frequency may be slightly higher.

According to a reliable revealer in the Korean technology forum Meeco, citing sources, the Cortex X2 core of Qualcomm’s enhanced flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, consumes a lot of energy; the high-frequency power consumption is particularly serious.

Qualcomm may have to downclock the processor Cortex X2 core. This means that the performance difference between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus will not be much. Nevertheless, with the benefit of TSMC, the Plus enhanced chip performance is still expected to outperform the non-Plus series.
