The world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone is the Vivo X90 Pro Plus - Ars Technica

The world's first smartphone with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is the Vivo X90 Pro Plus.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will power most of the flagship Android phones coming out in 2023, but BBK's Vivo is beating everyone to the punch and releasing before the new year.

Other than the metal strip, you can see how this BBK phone will be a close cousin to the rumored OnePlus 11.

As for the OnePlus variant, there are rumors that that phone might come out before the end of the year, but like last year, it might be exclusive to China for a few months.
