Similar to what we have seen in the past years, Qualcomm seems to be readying a “Plus” variant of the recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and the latest buzz has it that it will be introduced pretty soon and the smartphones with the chipset will be available soon too. Here’s when to expect the launch.

A recent report suggests that Qualcomm will release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset in May. To recall, last year’s Snapdragon 888+ was introduced in June so the possibility of this information being true can be high.

As for the devices, which will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+, nothing concrete is available at the moment. However, a previous rumor suggested that the yet-to-be-announced Xiaomi 12 Ultra will get the new Qualcomm chipset.
