New reports about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which is expected to be officially announced by iQualcomm in the last quarter of the year, continue to emerge. In previous reports, some details that increased expectations, such as the new flagship processor could reveal a more powerful performance than the Apple A17 Pro, were revealed. However, the latest news indicates that devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip may become “battery-hostile” rather than a factor that enhances the user experience for gamers.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may annoy gamers with battery problems

According to the claims, the DLSS technology that will be included in Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 causes some glitches in images at lower frame rates. This is because the artificial intelligence used in this feature can reveal more obvious errors in games that are not optimized to run at least 60 or 90 fps, such as many Android games.

Therefore, unfortunately, it is said that DLSS may not give the expected results at this point. This is said to cause Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to consume more energy. It is suggested that smartphones with this chip will need a battery of at least 6,000 mAh to be able to move all day on a full charge.

The biggest problem with this is that many smartphones currently available on the market are shown as having a battery less than 5,000 mAh. While it is stated that some exceptions are equipped with 5,500 mAh or higher batteries; unfortunately, it is suggested that this situation will create a great disappointment on behalf of users and that users will have a serious problem with battery life.
