    Can’t wait for the Snapdragon 8 X Elite Gen X 2 Elite

    They need to drop ‘X’ and ‘Gen’ from the naming and come out with a simplified naming scheme.

    If everything is a Snapdragon, that loses it’s meaning also; you’d think that their laptop-class chips would have a different lineup name from the smartphone chips, but everything is a “Snapdragon” and “Elite” (now overused like the word “Pro”). I’m not an “elite”, I’m a peon. 😁

      The “x” is for laptops
      The “8” is for cellphones (or consoles based on that chip)

      ​​​​​​@@JSM-t7vI dont think a letter differentiation is as clear as changing the name from Snapdragon to something else would be. Especially since Apple confused the whole ‘X’ vs ’10’ thing (Roman numerals), though Qualcomm probably meant to imply both/either usage. And much like Windows, there’s no ‘9’ in the lineup.

      It just seems like an oddly dated way of doing things for a company that wants to signal how advanced its chips are. Qualcomm shouldn’t want Snapdragon to be their “Intel Core” forever.

From its dual-camera design to its cutting-edge sensor tech and wider dynamic range, DJI’s Pocket 4P comes with a range of upgrades that make this the ultimate handheld gimbal camera for pro creators wanting to travel light.

Starting at £529 in the UK, it’s not actually that much more expensive than the base Pocket 4 at £445 and the Osmo Pocket 3, which started at £519. But there’s a catch…it’s not officially sold in the U.S.

Unbox it with us and let’s take it out on the street of Paris. #dji #unboxing #vlogging #osmopocket #osmopocket4p
