Next-generation flagship phones equipped with the upcoming Snapdragon 898 (Snapdragon 8 Gen1) processor may come with a battery capacity starting with 4,500mAh and have at least 65W flash charging as standard.

The info comes from reliable leakster Digital Chat Station through a post on Weibo. A similar post on the platform had also revealed earlier that Qualcomm will be ditching its typical Snapdragon xxx moniker for the upcoming flagship chip in favor of ‘Snapdragon 8 Gen1’. MediaTek has already pulled something similar, renaming its Dimensity 2000 chip to Dimensity 9000.

Chinese phones, particularly those from BBK Electronics subsidiaries (OPPO, realme, OnePlus), have already started arriving with 65W charging support even in the mid-range, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise. And on top of that, companies like OPPO and Xiaomi have even begun working on tech to cross the 125W mark.

And as for 4,500mAh batteries, it comes as a necessity really, given the power-hungry processors and displays that have grown larger and smoother than ever. 120Hz displays have already become standardized in flagship phones and are known to consume much more power than 60Hz, hence the push for larger batteries.

Coming to the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 itself, or whatever you want to call it ahead of its launch, it is said to offer a 20 percent performance improvement over its predecessor. It will be featuring a prime ARM Cortex-X2 CPU core running at 3.0GHz, three Cortex-A710 based mid-cores clocked at 2.5GHz and four efficient Cortex-A510 derived cores running at 1.79GHz. Samsung’s 4nm process will be used in manufacturing it.

Alleged Xiaomi 12 Ultra, 12 Ultra Enhanced chipset and camera details emerge

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 04:30:53 +0000

Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi Mi 11 in December last year. Later, the company introduced other models such as Mi 11 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra, and Mi 11i with flagship specifications. Hence, it is speculated that the upcoming Xiaomi 12 series will include multiple flagship models. While the rumor mill has already tipped the existence of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, a new report claims that this model could be accompanied by another device named the Xiaomi 12 Ultra Enhanced Edition.

Publication Xiaomiui.net reported that it has come across Xiaomi 12 Ultra and Xiaomi 12 Ultra Enhanced Edition devices in the Mi code. These models are said to be codenamed as Loki and Thor.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

The publication has further learned through the Mi code that the Loki model is based on Thor, and the latter is based on Zeus. To those who are unaware, the Zeus model is expected to debut with the Xiaomi 12 Pro moniker in the Chinese market.

The Loki device has an L1A model number and is likely to debut in China with the Xiaomi 12 Ultra name. On the other hand, the Thor device’s model number is L1 and is expected to break cover with the Xiaomi 12 Ultra Enhanced Edition in the home market.

The publication added that the L1 model has an in-display camera. To recollect, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi MIX 4 as its first phone with an in-display camera. Hence, it is likely that the L1 may debut as the Xiaomi MIX 5 and not 12 Ultra Enhanced Edition.

Multicamera mode of alleged Xiaomi 12 Ultra and 12 Ultra Enhanced Edition

As far as the specs are concerned, it has been found that the alleged 12 Ultra and 12 Ultra Enhanced Edition will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 (aka Snapdragon 898) chipset. The Ultra models are expected to feature a 50-megapixel main camera, which could be the Samsung GN5 sensor. Both models also have a 48-megapixel camera with 2x zoom, a 48-megapixel camera with 5x zoom, and another 48-megapixel camera with 10x zoom.

The above-shown image, which gives a look at the multi-camera mode, suggests that both devices have a total of five cameras, which includes the front-facing snapper. It appears that both models will offer up to 120x zoom and 15x video zoom. It is speculated that the 12 Ultra models may remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Noted tipster reveals MediaTek’s Dimensity 2000 will bear a different moniker

Jed John Ikoba — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 12:57:33 +0000

Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer MediaTek made a grand return to the high-end mobile chip segment with the launch of the Dimensity 1000 series. The company is planning to unveil a successor to the Dimensiity 1000 SoC and earlier rumors tip the next-generation premium chipset to bear the moniker Dimensity 2000.

However, a new leak has emerged showing the device will be known by a different name. Noted tipster Ice Universe has disclosed via a Weibo post that MediaTek’s next-gen chipset will be known as Dimensity 9000 instead of the expected Dimensity 2000 naming.

This comes at the same time it is rumored that Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 898 chipset will bear a different naming scheme viz-a-viz Snapdragon 8 Gen1. There may be no reason other than the need to tweak things a bit for this rumored name change.

The alleged Dimensity 9000 is reportedly based on TSMC’s 4nm process. The CPU consists of a 3.0GHz Cortex X2 super core + three Cortex A710 cores + four Cortex A510 small cores, while the GPU is expected to be the Mali-G710 MC10 which should be behind the Adreno 730 GPU that the Snapdragon 898 will feature.

The Dimensity 9000 will likely not be as powerful as the Snapdragon 898 but will likely not be too far behind. Since it uses TSMC’s 4nm process, it may provide better power consumption than the Qualcomm chip which will be built on Samsung’s 4nm process.

MediaTek’s next-gen premium chipset is expected to make its debut in early 2022.

Qualcomm may call its upcoming Snapdragon 898 processor something else entirely

Zohaib Ahmed — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 07:20:29 +0000

Qualcomm’s much-awaited Tech Summit has been scheduled for November 30 and is set to lift the curtains on this year’s flagship processor – Snapdragon 898. Except there’s a catch. There are rumors doing rounds that the latest chip will not be called Snapdragon 898 at all, with Qualcomm changing the naming scheme and going for “Snapdragon 8 Gen1” instead, as the new name.

The info comes from a well-known tech blogger (via My Drivers) who has implied that the familiar triple-digit naming convention will be coming to an end.

Still, based on the info from the blogger, the flagship chip from Qualcomm will be retaining the ‘8’ from its older moniker, which should be enough to convey its flagship status. For those unaware, Snapdragon 8 series chips have always been the top of the line and have mostly been limited to high-end smartphones.

Paired with the CPU will be the Snapdragon X65 5G modem which can theoretically offer a maximum downlink speed of 10Gbps. The graphics bit will be handled by an integrated Adreno 730 GPU.

Foldable smartphones from OPPO, Vivo, Huawei, and others to launch soon

Jeet — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 06:25:57 +0000

Samsung and Huawei were among the first smartphone manufacturers to commercially launch foldable smartphones and currently, the South Korean giant is leading the category with several devices in the market.

Many other device manufacturers have been working on their own foldable smartphones for quite some time and it seems that the companies are now gearing up to officially launch their products in the market.

While Xiaomi has already launched its Mi MIX Fold earlier this year, it’s now time for OPPO and Vivo to launch their foldable smartphones. Both the brands have unveiled interesting concept phones in the recent past but are yet to officially launch their foldable phones.

Vivo Foldable Smartphone Design Patent With Stylus

Now, a new report coming from Digital Chat Station claims that the OPPO foldable smartphone will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset while the Vivo device will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 898 chipset.

Recently, it was reported that the OPPO’s foldable phone will have an inner fold design with an OLED display measuring 7.8-inch to 8-inch, offering a screen resolution of 2K+ pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is also said to have a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera on the rear and a 32MP front-facing camera. We expect the phone to be running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with ColorOS 12 on top.

Huawei is also expected to launch a new foldable smartphone in the market, which will come powered by the company’s own Kirin 9000 4G chipset and will reportedly have a clamshell design similar to the Galaxy Z Flip3. It seems that the Chinese giant won’t be launching a 5G compatible model, at least initially.

Motorola has also launched two foldable smartphones in the market, taking a different approach in terms of design compared to the other models available in the market. It was the first foldable smartphone to adopt a clamshell design. However, there’s no information about the third foldable device from the brand.

Apart from these Chinese brands, Google is also working on a foldable smartphone which is currently being referred to as Pixel Fold. Recently, it was reported that the company is developing a second foldable Pixel phone codename Jumbojack. Apple is also expected to launch a foldable iPhone in a couple of years.

Xiaomi recently launched its new Civi series smartphones with a brand-new design which the company touts as the most beautiful smartphone in the brand’s history. Rumors indicate that the upcoming flagship smartphone from the company — Xiaomi Mi 12 series could feature the same design scheme.

Now, a new report has surfaced online which reveals more details about the upcoming Xiaomi flagship smartphone. It is being said that the Mi 12 smartphone will be lighter and thinner with several improvements in terms of looks compared to the Mi 11 series.

It is also claimed that the Xiaomi Mi 12 will use dual-core materials and design schemes that can increase the energy density to a certain extent, and is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery. This means that the smartphone will have a thinner body despite packing a larger capacity battery.

The device will have a ceramic back panel, which isn’t the first time Xiaomi will be using it for its flagship smartphone. The Mi MIX 4 flagship smartphone from the company already comes with a ceramic body.

Recently, Digital Chat Station had revealed that the Mi 12 will have thinner bezels and chin, making for a better viewing experience. Further, it added that the curved display in the flagship lineup will be replaced with a hyperboloid solution, and will offer a higher screen-to-body ratio than its predecessor.

Internally, the upcoming flagship smartphone is said to come powered by the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset. If we are to go by the past record, then it could be the first smartphone in the world to come powered by the Snapdragon 898 SoC.

It is also being claimed that the new camera setup on the Mi 12 series will sport a 50-megapixel primary sensor over the previously reported 200-megapixel sensor. As for now, there’s no way of confirming this but we will get to know more about this upcoming smartphone as the launch date nears.

Jeet — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 02:37:27 +0000

Huawei, the Chinese company which has been struggling ever since the United States imposed several sanctions, managed to launch a flagship smartphone earlier this year, in the form of the Huawei P50 series.

Now, the company is gearing up to launch a new Mate-series flagship smartphone lineup in its home country. While the phones were expected to get launched by now, the official announcement has been pushed to early next year.

Amid rumors about the Huawei Mate 50 series getting canceled, a tipster from China has claimed that the upcoming lineup hasn’t been canceled and has also revealed some key details about the device.

It is being claimed that the Huawei Mate 50 series phones will get launched in the first half of next year. On the other hand, some reports hint the launch timeline to be somewhere towards the end of Q2 2022.

Further, there are reports hinting that the devices will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 4G chipset. Previous reports have suggested that the phone will come equipped with an LTPO display which is the same technology that we are seeing in the newly launched Apple iPhone 13 Pro series. This could mean that the phone will have support for adaptive refresh rate, with support for a high refresh rate of 120Hz.

There’s also a possibility of the Huawei Mate 50 smartphone having support for satellite connectivity when the cellular network isn’t available. The feature can be used to communicate via short message service (SMS) where a cellular network isn’t an option.

For this, the company has reportedly opted for the Beidou Satellite System. It is being reported that because of this new feature addition, the launch of the upcoming flagship smartphone from Huawei has been delayed.

HUAWEI has access to Snapdragon 778G, Snapdragon 898 chipsets: Tipster

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 09:54:00 +0000

At the end of July, Huawei announced the HUAWEI P50 series. Unlike its predecessors, the new lineup is not only limited to 4G but also comes with a Qualcomm SoC. Now, as per a reliable tipster, the company will be using more Qualcomm chipsets in the future.

HUAWEI P50

According to Digital Chat Station, Huawei has got access to two other Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs other than Snapdragon 888. These are Snapdragon 778G and the upcoming SM8450 (aka Snapdragon 898).

Just like the HUAWEI P50 series phones, the handsets using these chipsets will also lack 5G connectivity. That’s because Huawei will be getting a special 4G version due to the US sanctions. Unfortunately, the leaker does not mention which HUAWEI phones will be using these two SoCs.

Going by the Chinese tech giant’s now disrupted smartphone release cycle, the 4G version of Snapdragon 778G might power the rumored HUAWEI nova 9 series. On the other hand, the 4G variant of the unreleased SM8450 could drive the delayed HUAWEI Mate 50 series.

As of now, we don’t have any solid proof for this claim. However, since most of the information shared by Digital Chat Station has been accurate so far, the new details posted by him on Weibo could also be indeed true.

Last but not least, the leaker also says that Huawei might also use MediaTek chipsets, however, the deal is yet to be finalized.

Galaxy S22 series to largely feature Snapdragon 898 over Samsung’s AMD chip: Report

Sean — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 11:24:41 +0000

A new report from South Korea has suggested that the Galaxy S22 series will feature the Snapdragon 898 more prominently, over the company’s next gen Exynos SoC that has AMD graphics.

Galaxy S22 render

According to a Lanzuk report (Via PhoneArena), the South Korean tech giant’s next gen flagship for 2022 will feature the AMD powered Exynos 2200 processor. Although, it will only be available in few select regions across the globe. In other words, the Snapdragon variant will be more widely available to customers. Apparently, the reason for this is not due to the performance of the latest Exynos processor, rather its due to the low yield of the new chipset and other mass production related issues.

From what we have heard so far, the new Exynos chip is quite capable both in graphics, thanks to AMD’s RDNA2 architecture, and even overall processing. Some reports have even suggest performance rivaling or even beating the Apple A14 Bionic chipset found in the iPhone 12 series. For those unaware, Samsung had typically launched its flagship models in a Snapdragon and Exynos variant. Although, the former was usually considered to be slightly superior in performance.

Now, it seems that the roles might switch as the upcoming powerful Exynos chip could possibly outperform even the Snapdragon 898. Notably, the news of low yield and production rate of its own chips arrives as the company is also working with Google for its proprietary Tensor chips for the Google Pixel 6 series, which reportedly has similarities to the new Exynos processors. Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 using Samsung’s 4nm process may offer 20% improved performance

Jeet — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 05:52:01 +0000

Qualcomm recently unveiled a new variant of its Snapdragon 888 series chipset, dubbed Snapdragon 888+ 5G with improved AI processing. Now, the eyes are on the next-generation chipset from Qualcomm which is set to launch at the end of this year.

The upcoming chipset, likely to be called Snapdragon 895 or Snapdragon 898, will come with model number SM8450. It will be powering most of the flagship smartphones getting launched next year.

With just a few months more before the official announcement, details about the upcoming flagship processor from Qualcomm are not surfacing online. Digital Chat Station has now revealed that the Snapdragon SM8450 will be manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm process and will result in 20 percent increased performance.

Previously, it was reported that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 will feature a three-cluster architecture. It will include a super-large core based on Cortex-X2, a large core based on Cortex-A710, and a small core based on Cortex-A510. All these new designs will be under the ARM v9 Pure 64-bit system.

The Cortex-X2 offers about 16 percent improvement in design performance than X1. But after tuning by Qualcomm, it has been optimized to perform better. However, for the performance results, we will have to wait for the mass-produced version of the chipset.

Given the track record, we expect Xiaomi to be the first company to launch a smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 chipset once it gets officially announced in December this year at Qualcomm Summit.

There will also be a Snapdragon 898+ SoC which should be launched in the second half of 2022. A report reveals that while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 will be manufactured by Samsung, the Plus variant will be manufactured by TSMC.

Leak: Snapdragon 898 is Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship chipset

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 00:47:07 +0000

Qualcomm surprised us last year when it announced the successor to the Snapdragon 865 as the Snapdragon 888 instead of the Snapdragon 875. There have been reports that the next-gen chipset will arrive as the Snapdragon 895 but a new report says that won’t be the case. Instead, Qualcomm will announce it as the Snapdragon 898.

The source of the info is the renowned Chinese leaker, Ice Universe, who disclosed on Weibo that the chipset is called the Snapdragon 898. He also added that the prime core which is expected to be based on the new Cortex-X2 will be clocked at 3.09GHz. Arm announced the high-performance CPU core in May and it said it brings a 16% increase in performance over the Cortex-X1.

The Snapdragon 898 will be a 4nm chipset that will be manufactured by Samsung as reported earlier this month when it was still referred to as the Snapdragon 895. The higher-clocked plus variant expected to be released in mid-2022 will be manufactured by TSMC.

Qualcomm is also expected to go with a different CPU cluster from that of the Snapdragon 888. Instead of a 1+3+4 CPU cluster, a leak from a few weeks ago revealed that the Snapdragon 898 will have a 1+3+2+2 CPU cluster. This translates to: 1x Cortex-X2 prime core + 3x Cortex-A710 cores + 2x Cortex-A510 cores + 2x Cortex-A510 cores (at a lower clock speed).

The Snapdragon 898 or whatever it ends up being called should be announced in December.
