In the past weeks, multiple leaks and rumors suggested that Qualcomm has pushed back the release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 + chip to the second half of 2022. But in light of the new post on the Weibo Digital Chat Station, it seems like Qualcomm will reveal a chip code-named SM8475 this month. This is the codename for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 +. So, the reveal is coming sooner than expected. 

Smartphones powered by this new chip are also speculated to be revealed on that very same day. The last week’s post by the same person on Weibo suggested that the first smartphone powered by SD8G1+ will be a domestic device. The post also indicated Qualcomm’s good relationship with Lenovo and that probably means Motorola will be the first brand to launch a smartphone with SD8G1+.       

At the moment, there’s very little information available about the chip’s capability due to its absence from known benchmarking platforms. If past releases are any indication, this new chip from Qualcomm will have a higher clock speed and that also means the chip will be power-hungry. The thermals could be an issue.     

Lastly, the Weibo post also says that the mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is also due next week. No specific date has been revealed.

The code references a slew of devices utilizing an unannounced chipset with an SM8475 part number, which stands for Snapdragon 8 Gen1+. The 5 codenamed devices in the list can be traced back to 6 marketing names of Xiaomi’s upcoming phones: Xiaomi 12 Ultra (codename – thor), Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 (codename – zizhan), Xiaomi 12S (codename – diting), Xiaomi 12S Pro (codename – unicorn), and Xiaomi 12T Pro/Redmi K50S Pro (codename – mayfly). With so many phones sporting it, Xiaomi may turn out to be the biggest customer of Qualcomm’s latest chipset for the year 2022.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ specifications

As Qualcomm’s chipset could be an overclocked version of the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, it is anybody’s guess that any phone featuring it would be a flagship device. All the hype with this Gen 1+ chipset over the Gen 1 chipset, is about the switch it makes from using Samsung’s 4nm fabrication process to using TSMC’s 4nm process, which promises to address most of the shortcomings of the former process.

This switch could translate into higher yields, better power efficiency and lower thermal throttling, calling for better prospects for Android phone manufacturers. The chipset is expected to use a “1+3+4” three-cluster architecture that would have 1x super-large Cortex X2 core, 3x large Cortex A710 cores, and 4x small Cortex A510 cores. The SoC is also tipped to include the Adreno 730 graphics.

The Xiaomi 12 Ultra could be one of the first SD8G1+ phones to launch in the market. It is likely to go official either this month or in June.
