The current flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has been found to be a powerful hardware for devices, but its overall power management has been questioned by many.

In addition to this, the new 4nm architecture chip can offer up to an extra hour’s worth of gameplay, something that will be put to test with the Asus ROG Phone 6 later this year.
