As reported by XDA-Developers, specs of the Snapdragon 888 successor were leaked by a reliable leaker Evan Blass. He tweeted about its specs by mentioning the ‘SM8450’ is next-generation System-on-Chip (SoC). It is expected to be the successor of Snapdragon 888 because the model number of Snapdragon 888 is ‘SM8350’. 

Evan Blass has mentioned the full specifications of ‘SM8450’ in the tweet below:

This time manufacturing process of a chip is 4nm rather than 5nm. This helps in improved power efficiency and faster performance. Qualcomm integrating the new Snapdragon X65G modem which is a successor of Snapdragon X60. Theoretically, it offers 10Gbps download speed and stable 5G connectivity.

The leak also mentioning the ‘Kryo 780 CPU built on Arm Cortex v9 technology’. They are using Arm Cortex v9 technology which was announced this year and it is using new technology that are heavyweight Cortex-X2, the Cortex-A710, and the lightweight Cortex-A510.
