According to a leak from renowned industry tipster, Digital Chat Station, Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset appears to be on track for a timely release with a promising level of performance.

The leak suggests the 8 Gen 4 can handle running Genshin Impact, a graphically demanding mobile game, at its native 1080p resolution. 

While the leak doesn’t mention any specific benchmark scores, this suggests the chip’s prowess in managing graphics-heavy apps.

Digital Chat Station also hints that “there will be a wave” of new phones featuring the 8 Gen 4 after China’s National Day holiday, which falls on October 1st. Since Qualcomm is expected to launch the new chip in October, this leak aligns with earlier information.

Rumors suggest the first device to debut with the new chip could be the Xiaomi 15 series smartphone. This might be followed by Redmi for the K80 series and OnePlus for its upcoming OnePlus 13 smartphone.

Additionally, benchmark scores for the 8 Gen 4 have been cropping up consistently. Recently, a device with 8 Gen 4 was spotted running AnTuTu, scoring 1,769,083 points. However, the score falls below that of the current-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

However, it’s attributed to the engineering sample of the SOC, and the chip was also facing heavy CPU throttling during the test, which is another reason for lower-than-expected performance.

We’ll have to wait for Qualcomm to reveal the final product and for independent reviews to get a clearer picture of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s true capabilities.
