This year's mid-range battle can be described as extremely fierce, with major mobile phone manufacturers appearing on the stage, and the 2000 price segment has become the main battlefield of Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 and Snapdragon 8S Gen3, and last year's flagship chip Snapdragon 8Gen2 has also become a representative of mid-range machines in this battle. However, no matter how fierce the competition is in the mid-range this year, it is the battle between the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 and the Snapdragon 8S Gen3.
And next year will be different, according to the latest revelations on Weibo of digital blogger @Digital Chat Station, Qualcomm has begun to prepare for the iterative chip of Snapdragon 8s Gen3 in advance Snapdragon 8s Gen4, next year's Snapdragon 8s Gen4 competitor is not only MediaTek Dimensity 8400.
Judging from the blogger's breaking news, next year's mid-range battle will not only have Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen4 and MediaTek Dimensity 8400, but also a manufacturer with chip R&D and production capacity will also join this competition, but the blogger did not clarify who this manufacturer is.
According to the current market situation, the Kirin chip should not be in this competition, because the Kirin chip is self-contained, and it runs the Harmony OS system, which has little to do with the Android system. The rest is UNISOC Zhanrui, but UNISOC does more low-end chips, and few high-end chips are involved. Therefore, UNISOC has been excluded.
However, there has been a lot of talk about Xiaomi going to develop its own mobile phone Soc recently. Among them, some digital big Vs also revealed some dynamics of Xiaomi's self-developed chips. It is reported that Xiaomi's self-developed chips have begun to be taped out, positioning 4nm sub-flagship chips. According to a recent revelation by digital blogger @Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi's new generation of self-developed mobile phone processors has begun to catalog terminal models, and the iterative mobile phone and tablet product lines will most likely be arranged, and the positioning is not low.
