Qualcomm is getting ready to introduce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, while also working on different SoCs. Expected to be Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the processor with model number SM8735 is currently being tested by brands such as Xiaomi. We obtained information from HyperOS software, and confirmed that the processor is being actively tested. We are curious to see how the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 will perform.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 revealed
While Qualcomm hasn’t even unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 yet, the appearance of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 took everyone by surprise. We previously reported that the Redmi Turbo 4 has been added to the IMEI database. The previous Redmi Turbo 3 used the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. This processor had the model number SM8635. Now, in Xiaomi HyperOS software, we see a new processor with the model number “SM8735”. SM8735 may be the processor to be used in Redmi Turbo 4 detected in the IMEI database.
The Redmi Turbo 4 is also expected to be sold in the global market as POCO. Right now, it might be premature to talk about this. Because the POCO F6 series was introduced in June, and it should not be forgotten that the brand’s plans may change. Xiaomi may also use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in a different smartphone. This year, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 was first used in the Xiaomi CIVI 4 Pro, and later the Redmi Turbo 3 was added to the list of devices using this processor. Qualcomm and Xiaomi are actively testing the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is expected to debut next year.
We don’t know what changes Qualcomm will make with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. The previous Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 performed similarly to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The new SoC will likely perform similarly to the current flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. These are our own guesses, it’s not yet clear what Qualcomm will do. The only confirmed information is that the processor with model number SM8735 is being actively tested.
