Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the Snapdragon Tech Summit 2023 in October 2023.
Leaks suggest that the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone will debut in early November this year, with the Xiaomi 14 series being one of the first phones to showcase it.
The latest leak from Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi will also launch a phone with the SD8G3 chip.
The Redmi K70 Pro Could Feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
As a reminder, Redmi launched the Redmi K60 series in December 2022, which included the Redmi K60e, Redmi K60, and Redmi K60 Pro.
The Dimensity 8200 chipset, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 were responsible for powering these smartphones.
The Redmi K70 series is likely to include several smartphones as well. According to the secret information, the lineup will include phones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Therefore, it is likely that the Redmi K70, as the successor to the K60 Pro, will be equipped with this chipset.
The K60 Pro remains exclusive to the Chinese market, so it is unclear whether the K70 Pro will be released in markets outside of China.
Currently, there is no information available about the specifications of the Redmi K70 series.
Reports have revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will include 1 x Cortex X4 core clocked at 3.75GHz, 5 x Cortex-A720 cores working at 3.0GHz, and 2 x Cortex-A520 cores operating at 2.0GHz.
The unreleased chip has been spotted on benchmarking platforms Geekbench and AnTuTu with impressive scores.
In Geekbench single-core and multi-core tests, the SD8G3 scored 2563 and 7256 points, respectively. On the other hand, the chip scored 1,771,106 points on AnTuTu.
