A new leak has shared specifications of the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.”
This rumored SoC could be similar to the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but have an overclocked prime core and GPU.
Curiously, Qualcomm is said to underclock the performance and efficiency core clusters on the rumored SoC.

Qualcomm usually releases two flagship SoCs in a yearly cycle. This includes the regular flagship SoC and then a “Plus” variant that builds upon the regular flagship with some minor changes. Most Android flagship phones will use the regular Snapdragon flagship SoC, and only a select few will opt for the marginally better “Plus” SoC. Samsung got exclusive access to the “Plus” SoC in the last cycle with a “for Galaxy” branding, and it seems the situation could repeat with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, too.

Leaker Yogesh Brar has shared purported specifications of the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy,” drawing attention to the difference between this and the regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
