Qualcomm is all set to launch its next-generation flagship chipset on November 30th. According to leaks, the upcoming chipset is likely to launch with the name of Snapdragon 898. Whereas, some other report suggests the chipset to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Although, the company has not revealed the official name as of yet. Beside any other details about the upcoming chipset, a new leak from popular tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the upcoming chipset is likely to feature 150W fast charging solution.
150W fast charging on Snapdragon chipset:
The tipster posted about this information on the Chinese microblogging website, Weibo. According to his Weibo post, “The 150W mass production model is indeed on the way, however this time it is not on a PPT. Although, the first batch of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 new machines that were filed earlier at the beginning of the end of the year is a bit hanged.”
This means that the first batch of the flagship Snapdragon chipset will not offer 150W fast charging support. Instead, the same feature will be enabled in the second batch. He further adds that the second batch of the chipsets will be shipped in the late 2021. Therefore, we can expect the 150W fast charging supported device could launch in the first half of the 2022.
