According to Ice Universe, the successor to the Snapdragon 888 will be the Snapdragon 898, model number SM8450.

The chip will be based on Arm’s new Armv9 architecture which should mean a primary Kryo 780 CPU running at 3.09GHz.

The Kryo 780 is based on the Arm Cortex-X2 CPU and is said to be 16% faster than the Arm Cortex-X1 found in the Snapdragon 888.

The SoC should be built on a 4nm process, an improvement on the 5nm in the Snapdragon 888.
