Qualcomm is set to unveil its latest flagship chip, the SM8850, at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit. The chip will power most Android flagships next year and may be called either Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2.
Rumors also suggest that a high-end Snapdragon chip with model number SM8845 could be released, potentially as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. However, this would mean a shift in Qualcomm’s naming convention, which has seen the company adopt a new approach since launching the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chip.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 is expected to sit below the rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in terms of power and performance. The new chips will likely have significant implications for the smartphone market, particularly with regards to gaming capabilities.
