Qualcomm might be contemplating on what will be the official name of its upcoming flagship smartphone chipset. Where previous rumors clamored that it would be called the Snapdragon 898, one tipster believes that it will officially be named the Snapdragon 8 Gen1.

Though we will wait for Qualcomm’s official announcement during the 2021 Snapdragon Tech Summit that will be held from November 30, Weibo’s Digital Chat Station says that the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 will be the official name. To be honest, the name change should make things easier when distinguishing between two chipsets because calling one the Snapdragon 898 and the other the Snapdragon 888 could be confusing as both names are quite similar in pronunciation.
