Snapdragon 888 vendor list announced, but Huawei and Samsung missing? | Qooah

The Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit 2020 has officially opened. Qualcomm shared in this conference how Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon mobile platform redefines mobile connectivity, gaming, artificial intelligence and computing, etc., and at the conference also released a new processor of the flagship Snapdragon 888 platform. .

The Snapdragon 888 processor integrates Qualcomm’s third-generation 5G modem and Snapdragon X60 radio frequency system and integrates Qualcomm’s sixth-generation AI engine. The first batch of cooperative brands equipped with Snapdragon 888 processor are: Asus, Black Shark, Lenovo, LG, Meizu, Motorola, nubia, Realme, OnePlus, OPPO, Sharp, vivo, Xiaomi and ZTE. Lei Jun also announced at the meeting that Xiaomi Mi 11 will be the world premiere equipped with the brand new Snapdragon 888.

Careful friends may find that Samsung and Huawei are not among the first group of partners. Everyone knows that Huawei was beaten for “survival” from the US ban. While Qualcomm gets approval for the supply, it’s limited to non-5G chips. A flagship processor like Snapdragon 888, even if Huawei really wants it, can’t give it. .

Also, although Samsung has its own brand of Exynos processors, Samsung mobile phones basically provide Exynos Snapdragon processors according to different countries. And recently it was reported that the Samsung Galaxy S21 series of smartphones will be officially released in January next year. As next year’s flagship model, the Galaxy S21 series is believed to be equipped with a version of the Snapdragon 888 processor, but there’s no reason for that. Now the list is really unknown.
