The unstated purpose of the SD8sG4 platform is to be a cost-down offering for OEMs who want a name similar enough to the flagship SD8G4 to piggyback on the marketing.
I don't think its exactly scummy. The 8 Elite is a sizable N3E chip for mobile standards. This is merely a cheaper Alternative. It's similar to Apple's non Pro silicon on the iPhones.

Kryo cores instead of Oryon?
That's an interesting choice.

It's flagshippy enough to be branded an 8 series chip, just not current gen.

The last time they pulled this with the 8sG3 it didn't even beat the G2 flagship.
DerpSenpai@reddit
Yeah it beats the 8G1, this new one prob beats the 8G2

QC didn't know if they would win the lawsuit, they can't but every egg in the same basket. in the future it will be all Oryon

I'm at lost after looking at the Product Brief document.
Under Visual Subsystem it says "video decode up to 4K at 60 FPS."
But under the Camera section (which is noticeably a step up from 8 Gen 3) it says "8K HDR video playback @ 60 FPS."
So which one is it? HW decoding up to 4K or 8K? If it's the latter then it's a nice improvement from the 4K60FPS from prev. 8s Gen 3.
