The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is likely to be unveiled at the Snapdragon Night event, which is already taking place on May 20 in China. In addition to the latest flagship chip, Qualcomm could also reveal the less powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 platform. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ should use the same processor layout as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1: one super-powerful Cortex-X2 core clocked at 3 GHz, three powerful Cortex- A710 and three cost-effective Cortex-A510 cores, and apparently it will have an improved graphics chip. It should be manufactured using TSMC's 4nm process and overall be around 10% faster than the current flagship chip. It will reportedly debut in the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra "superflagship" and Samsung's next "puzzles" will use it, among other things Galaxy Z-Flip4 and Z Fold4.
