Frequently Asked Questions

Which smartphones used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1?

Based on our coverage, smartphones that used the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset include the vivo X80 Pro, the vivo X Fold, and the Lenovo Legion Halo gaming phone (which used an overclocked version).

What is the difference between Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1?

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is an improved version of the original 8 Gen 1. According to Carl Pei of Nothing, choosing the 8+ Gen 1 for the Phone (2) over the newer 8 Gen 2 helped keep the device accessible while still delivering an 80% performance boost and improvements in battery life, connectivity, and camera capabilities over their previous chipset.

How did the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 perform against competitors like the MediaTek Dimensity 9000?

Early Geekbench 5 benchmark results from January 2022 showed the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. However, it was noted that results could differ as the chips were not officially out in devices yet.
