⚡ Why I Started Above Phone
@takebackourtech
On 7Sees, I was asked what led me to start a phone company—and it really began during my time working with the Freedom Cell Network. We were building solutions rooted in decentralization and autonomy… but still using Big Tech devices that completely went against those values.
I wanted to contribute something that was part of the solution. I had already been using Linux, and when I came across the Pixel phone, I saw the potential to build something better. With my team, we created Above Phone—privacy tech that empowers, not exploits.

Qualcomm Quietly Launched Two New Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SKU
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 codename "pineapple" was launched two years back in October 2023 with the Part Number "SM-8650-AB". When the Galaxy S24 series debut in January 2024, it used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For galaxy Edition, also called 8 Gen 3 Leading Version or 8+ Gen 3 having SM-8650-AC part number. Then in December 2024, Honor 300 series was launched with the 300 Pro and 300 Ultra packing the 8 Gen 3's SM8650-AA SKU.
Now, Qualcomm has silently listed two new SKU for Snapdragon 8 Gen 3:
1. SM-8650-Q-AA
2. SM-8650-Q-AB
The Q here means "cut cores" which means instead of 8 cores with 1+5+2 config, these Q versions packs 6 cores with 1+4+1 configuration. A Lenovo Tablet with model number "TB710FU" has been spotted at Geekbench with the SM-8650-Q-AA SKU, running at clock speeds:
• 1x Cortex-X4@ 3.3GHz
• 4x A720@ 2.96GHz
• 1x A520@ 2.27GHz
Geekbench 6 scores of Lenovo tablet:
Single-core: 1880
Multi-core: 4716
Information about SM-8650-Q-AB edition remains unknown but it may run at 3.0GHz.
Meanwhile, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 3:
• 1x X4@ 3.4GHz
• 3x A720@ 3.15GHz
• 2x A720@ 2.96GHz
• 2x A520@ 2.27GHz
8 Gen 3 speed:
• 1x X4@ 3.3GHz
• 3x A720@ 3.2GHz
• 2x A720@ 3.0GHz
• 2x A520@ 2.3GHz
Honor 300 Pro/Ultra 8 Gen 3 (SM-8650-AA):
• 1x X4@ 3.0GHz
• 5x A720@ 2.95GHz
• 2x A720@ 2.0GHz
Thus, there exist 5 SKU's of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in a span of 2 years.
Funfact: Nothing was also testing a prototype of the Phone 3 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, they went with Snapdragon 8s gen 4 instead due to cost-cutting & to market that its' a new & latest flagship SoC lol.
