Motorola's Galaxy Z Flip 4 rival coming soon with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Motorola will launch a new foldable phone later this year, and the company has confirmed on Weibo that it will feature the recently-announced Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor from Qualcomm. While the Lenovo-owned firm hasn't revealed the name of its upcoming phone, it is expected that the phone will be the new-generation RAZR and that it will rival the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The new RAZR phone could feature a much bigger cover display than the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The new chipset is perfect for a high-end flip phone, thanks to its higher power efficiency and performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Even the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 are rumored to use the same chipset that's made using TSMC's 4nm process rather than Samsung Foundry's 4nm process.

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 features the same CPU configuration as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but all its CPU cores are clocked higher. It has one Cortex-X2 CPU core clocked at 3.2GHz, three Cortex-A710 CPU cores clocked at 2.75GHz, and four Cortex-A510 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz. The Adreno 730 GPU is clocked at 900MHz and offers 30% higher power efficiency.
