Qualcomm yesterday announced the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC with some performance and energy efficiency improvements over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and 16 companies have confirmed to launch smartphones with this new chip at the helm, starting in the third quarter of 2022. While we don’t have an exact launch date for the first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 smartphone yet, Asus has announced that the ROG Phone 6 will be the first gaming phone to come with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood.

Additionally, Realme founder and CEO, Mr. Sky Li, has announced that Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will be one of the first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 smartphones to come to market.
The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will be introduced in China, but it’s unclear if it will hit global markets. Last year’s GT Master Explorer Edition powered by the Snapdragon 870 was exclusive to China, so we’re not betting on launching its successor globally.
