Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in October, 2023 while MediaTek announced its Dimensity 9300 in November. These chipsets are expected to power a host of flagship phones in 2024, but device makers are wasting little time in adopting these processors.
We’ve already seen handsets with both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300 launching. We got our hands on the Snapdragon-toting REDMAGIC 9 Pro and the Dimensity-equipped vivo X100 Pro. This gives us the first opportunity to see how these new chipsets fare against each other in real-world devices.
