Well-known insider Yogesh Brar predicts a significant increase in prices for new Android smartphones due to the release of the next-generation processor from Qualcomm. This was reported by the publication Wccftech, citing the analyst’s posts on X (Twitter), Day.Az reports with reference to Gazeta.ru.
According to him, the new flagship models may become a third more expensive than the current models. This is due to the fact that the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will cost $220-240 per piece, which is $20 more expensive than the previous generation.
The official presentation of the new chip from Qualcomm is scheduled for October 2024. The processor will be manufactured using TSMC’s three-nanometer process technology, and instead of an ARM core, it will feature a core of its own design, Oryon. It is likely that the chip will also receive support for working with AI.
It is expected that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, scheduled to be announced in January 2025, will be among the first smartphones based on Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. At the same time, according to rumors, it is possible that Samsung will abandon the Qualcomm chip in favor of a more affordable solution from MediaTek.
