Qualcomm has announced a new mobile processor, the Snapdragon 870 that sits between its current flagship Snapdragon 888 SoC and its erstwhile flagship Snapdragon 865 Plus SoC. The\u00a0arrival\u00a0of the Snapdragon 870 is also rather interesting as it offers a minor upgrade from its predecessor, but that could be a selling-point for OEMs that are planning to launch a ‘Lite’ variant of their\u00a0next flagships. To make it clear, smartphone brands love flaunting new tech and hardware on their devices, especially when it comes to their latest premium smartphones. You may have come across terms such as “faster,” “more premium,” and even “better” during launch events, that essentially signifies their commitment to providing an enhanced experience over old-gen devices.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Qualcomm’s latest\u00a0Snapdragon 870\u00a0processor is a\u00a0fitting answer for those users who are planning to upgrade their Snapdragon 865-powered handset to a faster-yet-more powerful Android device, but are not too keen on spending a hefty price for the Snapdragon 888-enabled smartphones. To recall, Snapdragon 865 Plus (and even Snapdragon 865) is by no means a less powerful chipset. It comes with several top-end smartphones such as Asus ROG Phone 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 (select regions), and Lenovo Legion Phone Duel. Even the vanilla Snapdragon 865 features on multiple well-reviewed smartphones like Mi 10 series, OnePlus 8 series, Motorola Edge Plus, and more.<\/p>\n

Motorola Edge S<\/strong>: Lenovo-owned Motorola hours has\u00a0announced\u00a0that upcoming Motorola Edge S will feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. The smartphone is reportedly being developed under the codename Nio which has appeared in multiple leaks over the last couple of weeks. The upcoming smartphone might carry a quad rear camera setup with a 64-megapixel primary sensor. It also reported to house dual front cameras inside a hole-punch cutout.<\/p>\n

OnePlus 9 Lite<\/strong>: The OnePlus 9 series has been a part of the rumour mill since December 2020. The next smartphone series is said to pack the vanilla OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro and an OnePlus 9 Lite. Though the regular and Pro models might carry the Snapdragon 888 SoC, the Lite variant is\u00a0said to be a minor upgrade\u00a0of the OnePlus 8T that packs Snapdragon 865 SoC. This makes the phone a likely candidate to feature the latest Qualcomm chipset.<\/p>\n

Redmi K40<\/strong>: Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi has confirmed that the next-generation Redmi K40 will launch next month, though its exact launch date remains unclear. The new K40 series is said to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, though the company Product Director Wang Teng Thomas recently suggested the arrival of a new device (a variant of K40) alongside Redmi K40 next month. Notably, the second-new device could also be Redmi’s first\u00a0gaming smartphone\u00a0with the newly launched MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. However, some reports speculate the device will feature a Qualcomm processor – likely the Snapdragon 870. The phone will reportedly carry a triple camera setup with a 48MP primary camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
