Wonder how much Phone 2 will cost. The gains in 8 Gen 2 are not insignificant though, so a bit disappointed tbh. I guess it comes down to how much they're gonna price this device.

I'm hurt by the statement "the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is an old chip." It's as if such a statement is trying to imply that my trusty Snapdragon 865 device is an ancient technology.

Even the Snapdragon 778G+ 5G is fast enough for me.... Can't wait for 8+ Gen 1!

No HW AV1 decoding support, Carl Pei.
You're releasing a device which is deprecated from the get go.
As for the increased price, don't BS me, ZTE Nubia Z50 costs $400.

KondriX, 19 May 2023Heck, even Snapdragon 865 will be powerful enough for 99% o... moreI use a phone powered by snapdragon 720g. Not very powerful but enough for everyday usage unless you are a gamer. Even 7 series are already good enough. 8 series are very powerful and most people don't even need that much power.

Oh boy, here come all the comments complaining that the new phone won't have x feature which is going to be a deal breaker for them as if nothing is the only phone company in the world

Somehow many here believe difference would be over $100, when it is not.
Not even trading 8g2 for 480 would be that much.

Compared to the chipset I'm more curious about whether it's still going to have the same build problems that Phone (1) had, like green screen and LED lights falling off.

Heck, even Snapdragon 865 will be powerful enough for 99% of tasks even 5 years from now on. People just like to nitpick over nothing, but it comes down to the price of course.

Haven't release already destined to fail? Might be even better then 7+ gen2. Just weird decision to use 8+g1 at this time.
