The new Qualcomm Snapdragon Eight Gen 1 is official and is expected to power some of the best smartphones from two thousand and twenty-two.
Flights and accommodations for this launch event were funded by Qualcomm, but beliefs reflect the independent opinion of the author.
But what next phones will use the new chipset? The first manufacturers have confirmed compatibility and we look forward to hearing from more Android phone manufacturers in the coming weeks.
Below we will reveal each and every phone that has been confirmed thus far, and then we will inform you about certain other phones that we look forward to seeing that might also come with the latest Qualcomm chipset.
Xiaomi twelve
The first confirmed phone with the next-generation chipset is the Xiaomi 12, which the CEO of the company has announced is going to be "released soon."
We expect the Xiaomi Twelve to launch in China in the coming weeks. So, it will surely reach other markets in the early two thousand twenty-two.
While Xiaomi may discover this phone first, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be the first phone with the next-gen chip to be free in Western markets.
Oppo find x4
While the company has yet to confirm the name of its next flagship as the Find X4, we know Oppo's top-of-the-line phone for 1 is going to feature Snapdragon XNUMX Gen XNUMX.
Oppo also told us that it will present its next flagship phone before the end of March of two thousand twenty-two. The Find X3 was unveiled in the third month of the year 4, so it would make sense for the Find XXNUMX to be unveiled about a year later.
Realme GT Two Pro
Realme has unveiled its next smartphone in recent days, and the company has now confirmed that the upcoming Realme GT two Pro is going to be one of the first phones to feature the Snapdragon eight Gen 1.

It should be the brand's first truly high-end phone, developed to compete with flagships like Apple and Samsung, so it wouldn't be surprising if it employs Qualcomm's new chipset.
We still don't know much about the Realme GT two Pro, or when it will be officially revealed, but with the company now starting to tease this phone, we look forward to seeing it sooner rather than later.
A new Motorola Edge
We still don't know the name of this phone, but throughout the Snapdragon 1 Gen XNUMX launch event we learned that a new Motorola Edge device will start with the integrated chipset.
Ruben Castano, Motorola's chief user experience officer, said: “In a few days we will introduce one of the first smartphones to launch on this new Snapdragon eight platform in China. This event is now confirmed for December XNUMXth.
There have been leaks and gossip suggesting that a new Motorola Edge X30 phone could be introduced in China in the coming weeks. This may be the phone that Castano was talking about, but that has not been confirmed, and also regardless of the phone, we still do not know if it will be launched in markets outside of China.
Snapdragon Eight Gen 1 Phones Rumored To Be
In addition to the previously confirmed phones, we look forward to the Snapdragon 1 Gen XNUMX nourishing many other high-end phones that will be released throughout the next year.
Arguably the biggest phone with the chipset is the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22. Generally, Samsung's flagship phones carry their Exynos chipset in certain areas, while models launched in other parts of the world use the latest Qualcomm chip.
However, numerous leaks have suggested that each and every Galaxy S22 phone will use Qualcomm's chipset, as Samsung has had trouble manufacturing its Exynos processors.
Other leaks suggest that the Huawei P60 could include the Snapdragon eight Gen 1 and also struggled to create its Kirin chipsets. The gossip suggests it is due to a global silicon shortage that is affecting the production of many devices.
There are no firm leaks near other phones that might include the Snapdragon eight Gen 1, but we can accept that the next OnePlus ten, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold four, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip four, Sony Xperia 1 IV and others will introduce it. . The technology.
