The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is focusing on AI like every other tech company these days but now mobile devices will get these capabilities. While it is too early to talk about its performance, features and improvements, brands have already lapped up the new chipset from Qualcomm and even confirmed which of their phones will be the first to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The list includes prominent names like OnePlus, Xiaomi and iQOO among others.
