Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Qualcomm is scheduled to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October officially, and it will be the first time that the company introduces a smartphone SoC featuring its in-house Oryon CPU cores. Unfortunately, the use of these custom cores is a major reason why a Qualcomm executive hinted that the chipset will be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, the actual price of the SoC has yet to be revealed because it is a difficult metric to evaluate, but one tipster may have the answer as he mentions that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be […]
The Exynos 2500 has been a part of the rumor mill for months, but there is one major difference between this chipset and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4; the latter has an actual launch date. This revelation leads one rumor to claim that Samsung might be forced to launch the Galaxy S25 family with just one SoC, and in doing so, consumers may have to pay a 30 percent premium for this exclusivity. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 already hinted to be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, leading Samsung to immediately raise prices of the Galaxy S25 family […]
A previously leaked specifications sheet of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 revealed that Qualcomm will launch two versions of its upcoming flagship chipset, with both of them sporting the designation numbers ‘SM8750’ and ‘SM8750P.’ While the letter ‘P’ is likely for the performance variant, one tipster notes that this version will not feature an integrated 5G modem and may be found in tablets. Assuming that you have forgotten, this is a strategy that Qualcomm followed in the past, where its clients would have to purchase a standalone 5G modem for a premium. Last time Qualcomm followed a Snapdragon 8 Gen […]
A massive Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 specifications sheet was leaked mere moments ago, revealing that Qualcomm intends to unveil two chipset variants, with both of them featuring an ‘Adreno GPU 8-series for the highest in graphics performance and power efficiency.’ However, in-depth details were not provided of the Adreno 830 graphics processor, but a tipster has chimed in, stating that it is being tested at a 25 percent higher clock speed compared to the Adreno 750, which is a part of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. New specification details reveal that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s Adreno 830 GPU will operate […]
The tech community is eyeing whether Samsung will go with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is on the pricier end, instead of its Exynos 2500 for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series and take on the iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of processing speed. A while back, the unannounced chipset was spotted on Geekbench with a multi-core score of 8840, making it Qualcomm's fastest SoC to date and competing against Apple's A series. Now, we have the official specs sheet of the processor ahead of the official reveal. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 specs sheet leaked shows two versions […]
Qualcomm will leverage TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which only means that we should bear witness to the chipset’s incredible power-efficiency attributes. Then again, it is also possible that the San Diego has optimized the SoC to the extent that the Adreno 750 GPU delivers incredible ‘performance per watt’ compared to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300. According to new internal testing data, the graphics side of the silicon could exhibit jaw-dropping power consumption, but the same cannot be said about the CPU. Tipster reveals that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 CPU’s efficiency is beyond underwhelming at just single-digit […]
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 […]
Frame Generation technology arrived exclusively with NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 series of GPUs, and shortly after, AMD introduced its own version. Now, it appears that the same technology could be supported by mobile chipsets, starting with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, with one tipster claiming that the Adreno 830 GPU will arrive with interpolation technology. Assuming the rumor is true, it will put the upcoming SoC in a whole new league above the competition, with even Apple’s A18 and A18 Pro possibly failing to one-up its rival. Bringing interpolation support to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could ensure a 120FPS gaming […]
Qualcomm’s shift towards custom Oryon cores would be one reason why a company executive hinted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would be more expensive than its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, there are other reasons why future flagships would pick up in price, and according to one tipster, it would be due to adopting various other technologies, such as upgraded batteries and faster memory support. Here is a closer look at the details. Tipster claims that most Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagships will not even feature improved technologies and will just offer a chipset upgrade On Weibo, […]
The Adreno 830 GPU is said to be a part of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, with initial performance results showing that the graphics processor was nothing short of a beast, beating Apple’s M2 by 10 percent in 3DMark’s Wild Life Extreme test. Now, one tipster hints that raw performance will not just be included in the GPU’s list of improvements because support for upgraded memory compression may also be added, along with increased utilization to raise performance in demanding games. Tipster notes that Qualcomm’s phone partners have opted to use larger batteries in their Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagships, […]
Qualcomm was previously rumored to be making adjustments to its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, raising its clock speed to as high as 4.26GHz. It is possible that Apple’s M4 may have forced the San Diego firm to re-evaluate its position on its flagship chipset’s current performance limitations. One tipster now claims that the performance cores operate at 4.20GHz, allowing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 prototype to obtain a multi-core score of 10,000 points, with other details also mentioned. New multi-core performance puts the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 above Apple’s A17 Pro and only just manages to edge past it […]
Xiaomi has always been one of Qualcomm’s phone partners that gets to announce its flagships with a premium chipset first. When it comes to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that we will most likely see getting announced in October, the Chinese company is once more said to have priority on the announcements, but only for its high-end offerings. The less expensive models sporting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are also slated to arrive in 2025, with one tipster stating that it will be called the K80 Pro. While some specifications of the upcoming handset have been revealed, the pricing details […]
