During the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 last October, Qualcomm hinted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would be more expensive. Reliable leaker Ming-Chi Kuo now reports that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could be 25-30% more expensive than its predecessor, potentially costing around $200.
This price hike might not directly translate to higher consumer costs, as smartphone manufacturers could cut costs elsewhere or benefit from reduced component prices. However, a significant increase could lead to higher prices for consumers.
Recent trends show a $100 price increase in ultra-premium phones like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Google Pixel 8 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s higher cost might similarly impact premium phones, potentially raising prices for models like the Galaxy S series in 2025.
