Qualcomm has unveiled its next flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is built on TSMC’s 4nm technology. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 exceeds the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in terms of power efficiency and performance.

Because to the upgraded manufacturing process and higher CPU and GPU clock rates, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is said to be 10% faster in CPU performance and 30% more power-efficient on the CPU and GPU fronts at maximum clock speed. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is said to be 15% more energy efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

The ROG Phone 6 will sport a big physical factor, a gigantic screen, and a dual speaker arrangement.

The smartphone is also believed to contain two USB Type-C connectors as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack with HD audio output capabilities. The smartphone will most likely sport a dual-camera configuration with up to 8K video recording capability.
