Two weeks ago we got our first set of unofficial details surrounding the successor to Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 888 aka sm8450. Now, Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station is reporting that several of the top Chinese smartphone makers are already sampling the upcoming 4nm Snapdragon chipset. He also claims that the progress made with the new SoC is more significant than the leap between the Snapdragon 865 and last year’s Snapdragon 888.
