Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 arrives with Cortex-X4 core, to power the flagship killers of 2024

18 March 2024
Qualcomm focused on generative AI, image processing for photos and videos and top of the line gaming features.

Sort by:

So most likely the 7+g3 with higher clocks, so this time it will atleast match the 8g2 in cpu. Sucks that they cut down cache from everywhere though.

    This is a budget flagship SoC 🙄
    Don't expect anything better compared to real flagship SoC

      Pointless SoC. Manufacturers might as well just use 8 gen 2

        How much is the gpu performance of adreno 735 compared to adreno 740?? Seems like gpu is inferior to adreno 740....

          CargoJoe, 18 Mar 2024Don't you love mislabeled products that confuse custom... moreBelieve me. Most smartphone users don't even know about the SoC inside their device, unlike many PC users.

            Phone Critic, 18 Mar 2024Yeees but the POCO F6 will use Sony Lytia 700 and POCO F6 P... moreSeems a bit strange that the F6 would get the lyt700 when the F6 pro is getting the Omnivision OV50E. Would have thought the LYT700 would be more expensive than the OV50e

              Can't wait for Snapdragon 8s+ Gen 4x4 Mark II next year! Qualcomm literally has the worst naming conventions ever and they just keep making them more confusing.

                Don't you love mislabeled products that confuse customers more.

                  David 040882, 18 Mar 2024Oh so it sits below the 8 Gen 2? I thought it would sit bet... more7+ gen 3 is per is almost with 8 gen 2. Even the GPU is almost per with Adreno 740. As far as I know 8s gen 3 will have the more efficient Adreno 740(735) version.

                    Doctor MUJEEB, 18 Mar 2024It has more efficient and slightly powerful CPU than 8gen2.... moreWait for reviews first, the only 7+ gen 3 review we have shows otherwise, don't forget also X4 has worse efficient compare to X3.

                      Hackbox, 18 Mar 2024Poco is made for using OV64b Main sensor Yeees but the POCO F6 will use Sony Lytia 700 and POCO F6 Pro will use Light Hunter 800

                        It has more efficient and slightly powerful CPU than 8gen2. GPU is just slightly lesser powerful and lesser efficient than 8Gen2. AI capabilities are same as 8 gen 3, so obviously better than 8 gen 2. Modem is same. Isp is better on 8 gen 2. Overall, 8 gen 2 and 8s gen 3 are almost equal, with 8s Gen 3 actually just so slightly better partly because it is manufactured on more efficient 4nm node than 8 gen 2, though both being tsmc. I guess Qualcomm is looking to cut down on 8+ gen 1 and 8 gen 2 and wants manufactures rather to implement 7+ gen 3 and 8s gen 3.

                          Phone Critic, 18 Mar 2024POCO F6 about to be Better than POCO F6 Pro Poco is made for using OV64b Main sensor

                            Not much of a flagship killer if it's using a crippled chipset. Phones like the OnePlus One and Pocophone F1 had the title for offering the same performance as flagships at a lower price.

                              Oh so it sits below the 8 Gen 2? I thought it would sit between the 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3

                                POCO F6 about to be Better than POCO F6 Pro

                                  gpu is worse than 8 gen 2? damn..
