The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 was recently released and the first smartphone to receive it was the Vivo X90. Since the appearance of the cell phone, several benchmarks have appeared on the internet, showing its great processing power and stability. Amid the tests, comparisons emerged between Qualcomm’s flagship (top of the line) and Apple’s A16 Bionic.
During the Snapdragon Summit 2022, some experts in smartphone analysis were able to try phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the test results were very good.
