It is important to note that the SM8250 single-chip system is usually Snapdragon 865, but in this case, a new, more advanced version of the chip will be used – Snapdragon 870, which has already been rumored earlier. This single-chip system will use the same process technology and architecture as the Snapdragon 865.
