At the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 moto edge X30 conference, moto also released the Snapdragon 888 Plus based moto edge S30, and in the near future, the new machine based on the Snapdragon 888 is really a lot, not only iQOO Neo5s has begun to warm up, Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is also on the agenda, there is news that OPPO, vivo and millet, will also release a mobile phone based on the Snapdragon 888. In the near future, there are more new mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 888 than mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
This is a bit abnormal, because in the past, with the release of the new flagship chip, the mobile phone equipped with the old flagship chip also began to withdraw from the market, after all, the new flagship is stronger than the old flagship in terms of performance, and the new flagship mobile phone is much higher in profit than the old flagship mobile phone that has been fully market competitive. And this year, when the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 has been released, there are so many Snapdragon 888 mobile phones piled up, which is a bit strange, is it, Snapdragon 888 has a huge inventory, need to be cleared?
In fact, the reason may not be so simple, taking the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE as an example, this phone was originally scheduled to be released in the second half of this year, but in the end, due to the lack of chips, resulting in a delay in release. In fact, this situation does not only exist in this one model, in fact, the lack of stock has interrupted the release plan of many models, but the design of some models has been completed, and even some mass-produced parts have been completed, in this case, manufacturers will definitely find ways to promote the listing of this model. After the release of the new flagship chip, the supply of Snapdragon 888 and some supporting chips has been loosened, so manufacturers can take the opportunity to launch models with a high degree of completion.
Since last year, Qualcomm has achieved a dual flagship strategy, and the sub-flagship Snapdragon 870 is actually an upgraded version of the previous generation of Snapdragon 865. The excellent performance of the Snapdragon 870 is destined to be the second flagship strategy of Qualcomm this year, and the sub-flagship is also determined to be based on the Snapdragon 888, and from the current situation, Qualcomm may not even change the model, directly using the name of Snapdragon 888 as the next generation of flagship. This means that the Snapdragon 888 still has a one-year market life, so the release of the snapdragon 888-based mobile phone at this time is not too late in time, in fact, from the moto edge X30 and S30 conference can be seen, these two mobile phones are obviously high-end and low-end dual flagship layout. If the Snapdragon 888 will be a flagship next year, then it is normal for mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 888 chips to be released in large quantities.
Of course, some people will say that this year's Snapdragon 888 fever is too serious, not as good as this year's Snapdragon 870. Being a sub-flagship is also difficult. In fact, when the Snapdragon 888 is used as the flagship, the manufacturer will focus on improving performance when tuning, and this will improve the fever of the Snapdragon 888. However, if it is used as a sub-flagship, it will be more balanced when the manufacturer adjusts, and its heat generation will be controlled. Coupled with the fact that the manufacturer has a year of experience in training dragons, it should be able to better control the heat of snapdragon 888, which may be the reason why iQOO Neo5s dares to claim the coldest Snapdragon 888. At the same time, the Snapdragon 888 may also reduce calorific heat through process improvements. Moreover, the heat of this thing, the emphasis is on comparison, when the heat of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 surpasses Snapdragon 888, everyone's attention will be placed on Snapdragon 8 Gen1, so that as long as the fever of Snapdragon 888 is controlled, perhaps, the fire dragon Snapdragon 888, which has been criticized, will become a generation of gods like Snapdragon 870.
