Qualcomm provides top mobile processors for most smartphone manufacturers on the market. It will probably be no different in the upcoming 2021, but as it turns out, the company has decided to change the naming of its processors. The successor of units such as Snapdragon 845, 855 and 865 will not receive the name Snapdragon 875. However, we already know officially that the new processor from Qualcomm will receive the name Snapdragon 888.
The name change is probably due to the fact that in Chinese culture the number 8 is considered as lucky. This won't affect the CPU spec itself, though, which looks like a very powerful unit. Snapdragon 888 will support screens with a refresh rate of 144Hz. Certainly, interesting information for players is the fact that Snapdragon 888 will allow for playing Fortnite at 90 frames per second. From the Qualcomm company's point of view, the list of the company's partners is extremely interesting. The official photo showing the company's partners did not include Samsung, which may indicate that the direct cooperation between the companies has been ended. This would probably mean that future Samsung's flagships will receive an original processor from the Exynos series.
