Snapdragon 8 Elite With Overclocked Performance Cores To Be Found In A 7-Inch Flagship Reveals Tipster, Might Be The REDMAGIC 10 Ultra
Qualcomm might have inadvertently revealed that there is a more powerful version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite that might power future smartphones with robust cooling solutions. It was previously revealed that this chipset variant’s performance cores were overclocked at 4.57GHz instead of the default 4.32GHz, allowing the silicon to beat Apple’s A18 Pro in Geekbench 6’s single-core results while extending the lead in the multi-core category. Now, according to one tipster, the upgraded Snapdragon 8 Elite will be found in a device sporting a 7-inch display, which, at this point, belongs to the REDMAGIC 10 Ultra.

Before sharing information about the upgraded version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that in addition to two REDMAGIC 10 models, there is also going to be an ‘Ultra’ variant, with a display size that is said to exceed the 7-inch barrier. Several years ago, large-screen flagships would have been cumbersome to carry around, but ever since manufacturers have toyed around with reducing the bezels, such handsets have become more portable. Even then, a 7-inch display pretty much means that these devices are walking into tablet territory.

In addition to guaranteeing increased screen real estate, a bigger display will also ensure that the REDMAGIC 10 Ultra has sufficient space to accommodate a more robust cooling solution. Like the REDMAGIC 9S Pro, which we recently reviewed, the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship is said to ship with an active cooler, or in other words, a fan. While some might consider this addition as overkill, it could be necessary given that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will be tweaked to run at a higher
