- A new leak has shared specifications of the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.”
- This rumored SoC could be similar to the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but have an overclocked prime core and GPU.
- Curiously, Qualcomm is said to underclock the performance and efficiency core clusters on the rumored SoC.
Qualcomm usually releases two flagship SoCs in a yearly cycle. This includes the regular flagship SoC and then a “Plus” variant that builds upon the regular flagship with some minor changes. Most Android flagship phones will use the regular Snapdragon flagship SoC, and only a select few will opt for the marginally better “Plus” SoC. Samsung got exclusive access to the “Plus” SoC in the last cycle with a “for Galaxy” branding, and it seems the situation could repeat with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, too.
