Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has been hinted by a company executive to be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as the transition to custom Oryon cores is not a ‘chump change’ endeavor. Unfortunately, it is difficult to calculate how pricey the upcoming SoC will be because according to the latest rumor, smartphone OEMs have yet to place orders for it. It appears that even Qualcomm’s partners might be hesitant about incorporating the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in their upcoming flagships due to its high price, but their only other option now is MediaTek. Estimated cost per unit […]

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a terrific performer when running in flagships, and when fueling the REDMAGIC 9 Pro, it is a lethal combination. Even in our review, we noted that ZTE’s top-end handset can maintain its performance thanks to its robust cooling solution. Unfortunately, when running AAA games like Red Dead Redemption 2, the smartphone fails to generate more than 10FPS, but that is not entirely the REDMAGIC 9 Pro’s fault, as you will soon find out. Red Dead Redemption 2 can only run on the REDMAGIC 9 Pro through an emulator, which pretty much cripples the framerate The […]
