Previously, it was reported that this year's Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit will be held earlier than in previous years. However, recently Qualcomm officially announced that the Snapdragon Technology Summit is scheduled for October 21-23, when the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor will be officially launched.
According to the information that the digital blogger @Digital Chat Station broke the news on Weibo, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen4 release date is only a few days earlier than last year, but the rhythm of the mobile phone production line is much earlier. The first model is scheduled to enter mass production in September.
More than one will warm up before the chip release in October, and the new machine originally planned to be released in the first quarter of 2025 has also been moved to the fourth quarter of 2024. Therefore, the first model may not eat too many dividends this time, because the release rhythm of the first batch of flagship phones equipped with Snapdragon 8Gen4 is relatively similar, and the interval is not very open. And in the period from October to November, there are a lot of new machines, and there are also several new Dimensity 9400 machines that will be released at the same time.
Combined with the information on the Internet and the bloggers, this year's Snapdragon 8Gen4 first model seems to be Xiaomi 15 series, and the release date of OPPO Find X8 series and Honor Magic 7 series may be advanced, advanced to the fourth quarter of this year. Friends have raised the file and the release date interval of these flagship machines is not very large, so the significance of grabbing the first release does not seem to be very large.
In addition to Xiaomi, OPPO, and Honor, the vivo x200 equipped with Dimensity 9400 will also join the flagship debate, and there are also sub-flagships such as the Realme GT 7Pro, OnePlus 13, iQOO13 and Redmi K80 series will also join the battle. It can only be said that this year's flagship battle will be more intense than last year, because at the end of last year, there was less OPPO and Honor, and the competition among them was not very fierce.
However, this year's flagship market is different, and the flagship of the large and small sub-series takes turns, and it is definitely the hottest program at the end of the year. Fierce competition is not a good thing for manufacturers, but for users, the more fierce this competition, the better, after all, users can profit from it. Do you think so?
