The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could debut before the Gen 2 version

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Qualcomm processor for future Android flagships, can have a release day that is earlier than planned. While Android handsets are already starting to integrate the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, it looks like Qualcomm is gearing up for an early introduction of its successor. As to a report, a leaker claimed that Qualcomm is looking for an early Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 delivery date compared to the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

Additionally, the report emphasizes that the launch of the Gen 2 is already ahead of its predecessor, which saw the light of day in December, in time for the new Android smartphones for next year. Given that, Digital Talk Station indicates that the release date of the new flagship Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, is sometime in October 2023 or early November. The leaker did not identify any precise timeline. However, depending on the release of Gen 2, it might be a month or a week early.
