Qualcomm is planning to launch its new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset in the first quarter of 2025. This is reported by the Yogesh Brar whistleblower.
Here's What We Know
This processor will be a simplified version of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which has not been officially unveiled yet.

no confirmation on SM8775 for now
Ideally they should not change the naming scheme
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 performance is expected to be on par with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. As in the current Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip that came out in March this year, the performance is close to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Earlier, there were reports that Qualcomm might change the name of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagship chip to Snapdragon 8 Elite, but the aforementioned insider refutes this information, saying that the name of the chipset is not expected to change. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be unveiled at the Snapdragon Summit 2024 event, which will be held from 21 to 23 October 2024.
