As the image shows, the first smartphone to launch with Snapdragon 845 SoC is the Samsung Galaxy S9 duo. In some regions, Samsung will launch the Snapdragon variant of the Galaxy S9 and S9+, while in some regions, the devices will come with Exynos chip under the hood. Following Samsung would be another South Korean smartphone brand LG, which is expected to release the LG G7 at the MWC 2018 event. So, Samsung may announce the Galaxy S9 and S9+ at the MWC 2018 event itself.

Xiaomi has already confirmed that its 2017 first flagship will come with Snapdragon 845 SoC, and the list also says the same. After Samsung and LG, Xiaomi will unveil the Mi 7 in April (if it follows the last year’s trend). After Xiaomi, HTC will launch the U12 smartphone in May as a successor to the HTC U11 Plus smartphone.

The most interesting smartphone would be the OnePlus 6, and yes, the list has the device’s name and it will come with Snapdragon 845 chipset. OnePlus might launch the OnePlus 6 in June 2018, which is the same month two more smartphones from different brands rumoured to launch Snapdragon 845 SoC smartphones- Nubia and Sony. Nubia will be launching its flagship device, the Nubia Z18, while Sony is expected to launch Sony Xperia XZ Pro-A. Sony’ smartphone name is surprising as the brand already sent out media invites for an event at the CES 2018 where it’s expected to launch a Snapdragon 845 SoC smartphone.
