The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 system on chip is off to a flying start with devices such as the OnePlus 12 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra having Qualcomm’s latest silicon at their heart. With the development of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 probably being in its final stages, it’s time to look beyond. New information suggests that 2025 and beyond will be an interesting period for high-end Android smartphones, with Qualcomm looking at manufacturing partners outside of TSMC for its next flagship chip.
