This Chinese phone manufacturer claims it will be first with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone

Heck, most consumers have no idea which chip can be found under the hood of their own phone. And when was the last time a consumer went into a Verizon location and asked for that new phone powered by a particular SoC?

The chip is equipped with a Cortex X-3 Prime core running at a clock speed of up to 3.2GHz. Four Performance cores run at a clock speed of up to 2.8GHz, and the chip contains three Efficiency cores running at a clock speed of up to 2.0GHz.

So if you have a bet down at your local pub about which phone will be the first to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, we might have the answer for you soon. By the way, it’s nice to see Lei’s Weibo post revealing that the executive puts his money where his mouth is as it shows that he used a Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra to post on Weibo. Of course, we might be wrong with the money part because we doubt that he had to pay for it.
