Snapdragon 888 Plus
Started from Snapdragon 855, there are Plus versions of the 800-series Snapdragon lineup. And Snapdragon 888 is not any different. We are going to see a Plus version as-well. According to GSMARENA, the Snapdragon 888 Plus is set to launch in the second half of 2021. What will be the difference between the two? Well, the Snapdragon 888 Plus will be an overclocked version of the chipset.
We can expect higher frequencies for both the CPU and the GPU on the 888 Plus. What are your thoughts on the Plus version of the chip?
