Since the launch of the first mobile phone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor in 2024, major mobile phone brands have launched their own flagship new products.
With the increasing competition and the continuous introduction of new products, some Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones that were launched earlier began to go down the road of price reduction.
This time, I will focus on several models with relatively large price adjustments and outstanding cost performance, and see which mobile phones are more worthy of starting with the blessing of "official reduction" and e-commerce "tens of billions of subsidies".
iQOO 12 series
As iQOO's flagship model with Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the iQOO 12 series has always been known for its powerful performance.
Three months after its release, the phone ushered in a wave of price adjustments:
12GB+256GB version, the price is only 3561 yuan after 10 billion subsidies 12GB+256GB version and 12GB+512GB version, both of which are about 360 yuan
Thanks to iQOO's consistent "esports performance optimization", this phone can provide an excellent user experience whether it is for daily use or heavy gaming.
At the same time, iQOO 12 also has excellent performance in terms of image, screen, and battery life:
Wanli light chasing image system: 50 million main camera + 50 million ultra wide angle + 64 million periscope telephoto, main camera pixels up to 1.3 inches 6.78 inch AMOLED straight screen, support 144Hz high refresh rate and 3000 nits peak brightness 5000mAh large battery and 120W wired fast charging
For performance-conscious users, the iQOO 12 is undoubtedly an extremely cost-effective choice.
Meizu 20 series
The Meizu 20 series uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3, with a unique symmetrical aesthetic design language, and the appearance is outstanding.
After several rounds of price reductions, its price-performance ratio has been further improved:
12GB+256GB version, the price is 3339 yuan 12GB+512GB version, the price is 3639 yuan
Compared with the previous generation, the Meizu 20 series has been upgraded in terms of screen, using the straight screen design of Samsung E6 material.
Although the main camera has "only" 200 million pixels, it is enough for daily photography.
In addition, it has a large 4800mAh battery and 80W fast charging, which is rare in its price range.
For users who pay attention to exterior design and pursue flagship performance, the Meizu 20 series is a good choice.
Redmi K70 Pro
Redmi K70 Pro, which is positioned as a cost-effective flagship, has been frequently active in various promotional activities recently.
Highlights such as up to 24GB of RAM, 2K straight screen, and an exclusive optical zoom lens make it stand out from many Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones.
After several rounds of price cuts, its 12GB+256GB version has been reduced to 3139 yuan under the subsidy of 10 billion yuan.
Compared with iQOO 12, Meizu 20 and other 3000 yuan Snapdragon 8 Gen3 models, its advantages are mainly reflected in:
Very competitive price Snapdragon 8 Gen3+ "invincible" performance combination of up to 24GB of RAM Second-generation 2K AMOLED screen with peak brightness of over 4000 nits Xiaomi's self-developed surging OS system and furious engine 3.0 blessing
On the whole, Redmi K70 Pro has a good performance in terms of performance, screen, system, etc., and high cost performance is its biggest advantage.
Users who like the MIUI system of Xiaomi mobile phones, have a limited budget and want to try the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 can consider it.
真我GT5 Pro
With the blessing of tens of billions of subsidies, the realme GT5 Pro has also become a strong contender for the 3000-level Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile phone.
It is positioned as an "imaging flagship" and is equipped with a LYT-808 flagship main camera and a Sony IMX890 superspectral telephoto lens.
In addition, it also has a 5400mAh large-capacity battery that is hard to find at the same price, a 100W wired/50W wireless dual flash charging combination, as well as up to 4500 nits of face screen brightness, 16GB of large memory and many other highlights.
At present, the 12GB+256GB version of the 10 billion subsidy is 3389 yuan, and the 16GB+256GB version is 3425 yuan.
For users who have certain requirements for mobile phone photography, Realme GT5 Pro is undoubtedly one of the most worthy choices for the 3000 gear.
OnePlus 12
Although OnePlus 12 is priced slightly higher, it has also ushered in a wave of price reductions recently, with a direct drop of about 160 yuan for the whole series.
As OnePlus's flagship of the year, it has excellent performance in terms of image, screen, and system:
Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen3+, up to 24GB of RAM, second-generation 2K AMOLED screen, 50 million Sony LYT-808 flagship main camera + 64 million hyperspectral periscope telephoto, built-in new Corning Gorilla Glass material, thinner and lighter Polished new generation ColorOS 14 system
Compared to the previously mentioned models, the OnePlus 12 is stronger overall, but the price is also slightly higher.
After the current promotion, the price of the 12GB+256GB version is 4139 yuan, and users who like OnePlus mobile phones can consider it.
To sum up, with the efforts of major manufacturers in the field of Snapdragon 8 Gen3, consumers have more choices.
After this round of price cuts, iQOO 12, Meizu 20, Redmi K70 Pro, Realme GT5 Pro and other models have further raised the cost-effective standard of 3000-level flagships.
Although the OnePlus 12 is priced a little higher, it also has a price reduction, and the performance is also on a higher level.
For consumers, they can choose from the above models according to their needs and budget:
If you want the ultimate performance and gaming experience, iQOO 12 is the best choice Pay attention to appearance and system experience, you can consider Meizu 20 or OnePlus 12 With a limited budget, Redmi K70 Pro and Realme GT5 Pro are the first choice, which are more cost-effective For mobile phone photography, it is recommended to choose Realme GT5 Pro or iQOO 12/OnePlus 12
But no matter how you choose, you won't be disappointed with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.
I wish you all the best and have a good time!
