Qualcomm is working on a third flagship chipset for 2021.<\/p>\n Qualcomm seems set on having a chipset for every possible price point it can think of. Two flagship chips have already been launched under the high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 888<\/a> and the repurposed Qualcomm Snapdragon 870<\/a>, but rumors indicate that there may be a third flagship SoC in the works, thanks to a tweet from known leaker Roland Quandt.<\/p>\n According to Quandt, this new model is a “lower-end derivative of the Snapdragon 888” that lacks an integrated 5G modem, meaning that OEMs have the option to launch 4G LTE versions of flagship smartphones.<\/p>\n Qualcomm has a lower end derivate of the Snapdragon 888 (SM8350) in the works. SM8325 is the model number and there seems to be NO integrated 5G modem on this one. #CheapFlagshipPhones<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Roland Quandt (@rquandt) March 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The new chipset will likely sit between the Snapdragon 888 and 870 since the latter is more or less an overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 865<\/a> which powered last year’s best Android phones<\/a>. This could mean a much wider variety of flagship smartphones could be on the way this year, from premium high-end to more affordable models. This will also enable flagship smartphones to launch at lower prices in countries that may not have a strong 5G presence, so buyers won’t have to pay a premium for a feature they can’t use.<\/p>\n The news also comes on the heels of the rumored Snapdragon 775<\/a> SoC which was reportedly spotted recently. This chipset would be the successor to last year’s popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 765<\/a>, a chip that powered many of the best cheap Android phones<\/a> and some flagship models like the Google Pixel 5<\/a>. The addition of this chip would essentially give manufacturers four different flagship SoCs to choose from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Qualcomm is working on a third flagship chipset for 2021.<\/p>\n What you need to know<\/p>\n A variant of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is reportedly in the works.
