Qualcomm has postponed the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Plus processor

Qualcomm has been releasing "plus" versions of its flagship processors for several years. That's why we are already looking forward to the release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Plus processor. However, the situation around the introduction of this chipset is quite unclear. Some of the tipsters claim that it will go on the market later this month, while others think that the show will not take place until June / June. However, the manufacturer is still silent, even though rumors are appearing on the network that the first phones with it are almost ready for launch. These are mainly the Motorola Frontier phone and the OnePlus 10 Ultra phone .

REASONS WHY QUALCOMM POSTPONED THE LAUNCH OF SNAPDRAGON 8 GEN1 PLUS 

However, today the situation around the launch of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Plus has become even more tangled. Our old well-known tipper Digital Chat Station published a report on Weibo in China that Qualcomm had postponed the launch of the "plus" chipset. The tipper claims that the new processor will appear sometime in the second half of this year, which is a relatively wide time horizon. The reason for the postponement of the performance is said to be the worsened epidemic situation in Asia.

Official Chinese institutions have also confirmed that there has been a massive increase in COVID-19 infections in Asian countries since the release of anti-epidemic measures, and therefore hard lockdowns are being set up in some areas again. Even in places that are industrial agglomerations. Restrictions will not be eased in the foreseeable future to prevent re-infections.

It is clear that if the tipster is not wrong and Qualcomm has really postponed the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Plus processor, there will be a postponement of the introduction of the phones that were supposed to get it. This is primarily a Motorola phone called Frontier. He was supposed to be the chosen one who would receive this chipset first. This is mainly because, according to the tipper, Motorola has managed to establish very good relations with Qualcomm and thanks to that they have a certain exclusivity on the use of new chipsets from the American manufacturer. Let's remember last year, when Motorola introduced the first phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor. So let's wait and see if Qualcomm or Motorola come up with an official statement regarding the launch of either the processor or the Frontier.
