At the 2022 Snapdragon Summit on the morning of November 16, Beijing time, this new flagship chip of the year met with you. It has 1 X3 super core, 2 A715 cores, 2 A710 cores, and 3 A510 cores. Compared with the first generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the performance improvement

is possible, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 can really change the "fire dragon" problem this time. What's even more powerful is that this time, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 also has hardware-accelerated ray tracing function, providing the first mobile optimization support for the Metahumans framework of Unreal 5 engine, which is very similar to the Dimensity 9200 next door. In other words, everyone will soon see the crazy inversion of mobile games in the picture quality, and a large wave of new flagships will also focus on firepower to promote these performances.

. Regarding the first-match issue that everyone is most concerned about, Qualcomm has also released the first list of equipped ones. Mainstream brands such as Xiaomi , Honor , OPPO, vivo , Motorola are all among them. In addition, Sony , Sharp , Meizu , Red Magic , Asus ROG, etc. will all launch new flagships. But there are two views in the circle now. Many people think that the Xiaomi 13 series will first launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 because Xiaomi is Qualcomm's in-depth partner; but some people think that Motorola will continue to play the role of disruptor.

After all, Motorola X30 "intercepted" Xiaomi and won the start of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Motorola's official Weibo also released a poster, which was suspenseful and said "hat trick". Everyone speculated that it might be another "starting battle". Chen Jin, the boss of Lenovo's mobile phone business, also posted a slight silly, and "studying a fool" is also a bit provocative. So many people think that there may be no suspense in the start of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 this year.

. On Xiaomi, although Xiaomi 13 was once considered the best model for the first time, according to Xiaomi's statement, the possibility seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Xiaomi poster says "The new flagship is released first". Since it is the word "first", it means that the possibility of starting is not very high. From other configurations, in addition to being equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Xiaomi 13 series will also be equipped with the Sony IMX8 series' large-sole sensor, and the black edges of the screen may be further narrowed.

In addition, OPPO Find X6 series and vivo X90 series also have plans to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but the probability of starting is extremely small. But it should be noted that OPPO and Qualcomm have cooperated to break through the implementation of ray tracing technology and Google Cloud NAS technology on mobile phones, and vivo's self-developed chip V2 and Dimensity 9200 have achieved deep collaboration. It can be said that the flagship platforms of the Blue and Green Factory this year have their own ideas.

So, are you optimistic about Motorola, which makes a fortune in a quiet voice, or Xiaomi, which makes a fortune?
