- The first non-Samsung phone with Qualcomm’s overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is coming soon.
- The REDMAGIC 8S Pro will indeed use the so-called Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Version.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the most powerful Android phone processor of 2023 in many ways, bringing a beefy CPU setup and top-notch GPU. However, Samsung scored a big win when it gained an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (dubbed Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy) for its Galaxy S23 series.
It’s taken a while, but it looks like this overclocked SoC is finally available to other smartphone manufacturers. Gaming brand REDMAGIC confirmed on Weibo that the so-called Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Version will be available on the upcoming REDMAGIC 8S Pro.
