While we’ll have to wait until 2021 for the first Snapdragon 888 powered smartphones, we can already pick out a few key things to expect from next-gen handsets.

For starters, the Snapdragon 888 looks very promising for power efficiency. More efficient CPU, GPU, and AI processors with an integrated 5G modem, built together on a 5nm manufacturing process is good news for battery life. At the same time, new imaging, machine learning, and security features flesh out the likely capabilities of next-gen phones. Think more gradual evolution than an overnight game-changer.

We’ll have to benchmark the chip to verify Qualcomm’s performance claims, but gamers have something to look forward to next year. On paper, at least. A 35% graphics uplift is a major claim with variable-rate shading, that could see further improvements for next-gen titles. CPU gains look to be slightly more muted, especially as clock speeds remain static. The big Cortex-X1 core should be a decent win for single-core scenarios.

Xiaomi Mi 11 flagship launches with the Snapdragon 888 on board

In what we'd expect to be the last flagship phone launch of the year, Xiaomi has unveiled the Mi 11 with the brand new Snapdragon 888 chipset from Qualcomm on board – though you won't actually be able to buy the phone until 2021.

Today I have the s9 plus since the first time they took it out and for me the best mobile I bought, it works perfect, the 2k screen a delight, the fantastic dual sound, and with the latest security patches of December 2020, If I buy a cell phone again, something I don't want yet, it would be a high-end Samsung again.
