After launching new Snapdragon chipsets for affordable 5G smartphones last month, Qualcomm is now preparing to launch its next-gen flagship mobile chipset. Likely to be called the Snapdragon 898, the SoC was spotted on Geekbench earlier this year. Now, as per a recent update on Qualcomm’s website, the company is expected to launch the Snapdragon 898 chipset at its upcoming Snapdragon Technology Summit 2021.
According to recent reports, there is competition between various smartphone makers, including OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Lenovo, Realme, and other companies, to be in the first batch to acquire the upcoming SD 898 chipset. However, as the Geekbench listing earlier showed the chipset inside a Vivo prototype device, we can expect Vivo to be one of the first companies to launch a smartphone with Qualcomm’s next flagship chipset.
Other details about the Snapdragon 898 SoC will be revealed when Qualcomm officially announces it at its 2021 Snapdragon Technology Summit event later this month. So, stay tuned for more updates.
