Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's rumored price means phones may stick with 8 Gen 2 for longer

Samsung Galaxy S23

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor may stick around for another year, according to a new report. The move would be made by phone makers in an attempt to keep costs down, as the differences between generations shrinks. The rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor may be limited to ultra-premium smartphones as it'll sport a reportedly high price compared to its predecessor.

This report comes from the leaker Digital Chat Station over at the Chinese microblogging site Weibo. Writing in a post, the leaker noted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 may be too expensive for many phone manufacturers, with some likely opting to use the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor instead.
