Can Qualcomm deliver the Snapdragon 888 to anyone interested?
From the moment the American company Qualcomm announced the arrival of the latest mobile processor Snapdragon 888, it began to form a list of devices in which it is to appear. As usual, the first flagship phone from Xiaomi, in this case the Mi 11, was added first. This was followed by confirmation for the Samsung Galaxy S21 series, ASUS ROG Phone 5, OPPO Find X3 Pro, OnePlus 9 or Redmi K40 series and more. . Very nothing surprising, however, other models with this powerful unit are to be added in such quantities that there is even speculation about whether Qualcomm will be able to chase the Snapdragon 888 to produce and deliver to all interested parties. Recent reports say that it will not be easy at all.
Will Qualcomm manage to produce the top Snapdragon 888?
Doubts came about the Reuters server, which refers, for example, to an unnamed representative of Samsung. The Korean company has reportedly received information that deliveries of chipsets from the USA will not meet the quantities and deadlines in demand. He has to go not only about various Snapdragon processors in general, but also the top model 888. Samsung has so far refused to comment officially, but the ability to deliver flagship phones to those interested may indeed be partially compromised.
Vice President Xiaomi Lu Weibing recently commented on the situation. He mentioned on social networks that the shortage will be really big. According to Reuters, several factors are to blame. In addition to the ever-increasing demand for electronics it is said that US sanctions against Huawei also play a role. While the Chinese company, with its devices and processors, is being forcibly pushed out of the market, the demand is mainly growing for Qualcomm chipsets. Even the company’s management confirms that demand constantly exceeds supply. We will see how it will be mainly with the flagship phones of various brands now. Apparently, smaller companies will suffer. The big ones have enough funds for the supply of components to pay a little or a lot. And that’s what is happening now.
