Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 benchmarks: How does it compare with Apple and Google?

We’re already halfway through March, which means we’ve received the first devices with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for testing. It’s an interesting story this year as Qualcomm tries to catch up to Apple Silicon’s raw power and continues to maintain the lead over Google in benchmarks.

If you’ve paid attention to what’s going on with the Galaxy S23 series, you’ll know that there are technically two Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 variants on the market. There’s the standard one found in mobiles like the OnePlus 11, but then Samsung managed to score a special overclocked version dubbed Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy phones.
