Yesterday, Chinese network sources shared very interesting information – the American chipmaker Qualcomm is preparing for the premiere of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor (internal marking SM8735), which will be a stripped-down version of the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 platform, which will be released towards the end of October.
Moreover, the Redmi Turbo 4 smartphone has already appeared in the IMEI controller database, which is built on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which is quite predictable, since the previous Redmi Turbo 3 used the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. By the way, SM8735 is also found in the source code of the Xiaomi HyperOS firmware.
By the way, the future Redmi Turbo 4 is designed for the Chinese market, and outside of China, according to preliminary data, it will be presented under the commercial name Poco F7.
The release date of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 single-chip system is still unknown, but insiders claim that the premiere of the new Qualcomm processor will take place in the first quarter of 2025. However, the only confirmed information is that the processor with the model number SM8735 is being actively tested.
Curiously, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 was able to match the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and analysts expect the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 to be equal in performance to the current flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
