#Snapdragon flagship

The launch event for a new high-end Snapdragon chip has been announced for April 2. This is expected to be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite being a relatively fresh release. Last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset powered upper mid-rangers like the HONOR 200 Pro and POCO F6. This will be paired by an Adreno 825 GPU, which is likened to the Adreno 830 found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Qualcomm is going in for the kill as the company announced two new powerful additions to their 64-bit mobile chip lineup, namely the octa-core Snapdragon 810 and hexa-core Snapdragon 808. Of the two, the Snapdragon 810 sports the better feature set consisting of four Cortex-A53 processors which handles the mundane tasks and another set of Cortex-A57 chips which takes care of the resource-heavy apps. Speaking of performance, the Snapdragon 810 will also benefit from the new Adreno 430 GPU which, according to Qualcomm, is 30% faster than Adreno 420 or around 80% faster than Adreno 330, the GPU we often see on flagship devices. Despite of being the modest between the two new chipsets, the Snapdragon 808 is by no means a push-over.
