Leaked benchmark scores suggest next year’s flagship Android phones will be faster than the iPhone 16.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips have been steadily narrowing the performance gap with Apple’s A-series chipsets. A new rumor claims that the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will be faster than the A18 which will power the iPhone 16.
Top flagship phones of today are already faster than the average consumer needs them to be. No one dislikes extra performance headroom though and with the increased emphasis on AI capabilities and longer software support for Android handsets, the need for speed has never been greater.
A new rumor from South Korea (via Notebookcheck) claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will beat the Apple A18 in benchmark tests.
Per the leak, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to achieve a single core score of 3,500, while the A18 is unlikely to go beyond 3,300. The rumor also says that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will do better on the multi-core test and its GPU will also be faster.
