Jakarta (ANTARA) – Qualcomm, one of the semiconductor makers, is rumored to be changing the name of its Snapdragon chip starting this year.
The company annually releases the latest generation of chips. This year, the chip is expected to be named Snapdragon 898, following the name on the previous Snapdragon 888 series.
The Android Authority and Phone Arena pages, quoted Tuesday, predict the tradition of naming Snapdragon chips for this year will change.
