Qualcomm debuted its Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset at Snapdragon Summit 2024, and various phone makers have since come forward to confirm that their upcoming flagships will be powered by the all-new (and all-powerful) mobile platform. Qualcomm flew TechRadar to Hawaii and hosted us at the Snapdragon Summit to hear all of the latest news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Xiaomi and Honor joined Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon on stage in Hawaii to announce that the Xiaomi 15 and Honor Magic 7 series, respectively, will launch this month (likely in China) with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asus, too, confirmed that the upcoming Asus ROG Phone 9 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and Samsung mobile chief TM Roh also appeared at Snapdragon Summit to reaffirm his company\u2019s ongoing partnership with Qualcomm. Roh didn\u2019t mention the Samsung Galaxy S25 series by name, but you can bet your house that the best Samsung phones we see in 2025 will come packing the Snapdragon 8 Elite (disclaimer: that\u2019s not serious financial advice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, it’s highly likely that many of next year\u2019s best Android phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, with Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S25 series being the first of that number to ship in the US, UK, and Australia (we\u2019re anticipating a January release date). Those aforementioned models from Xiaomi, Honor, and OnePlus will presumably debut in China first, before launching internationally at a later date in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for how the Snapdragon 8 Elite stacks up against its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it\u2019s the first Snapdragon mobile chipset to feature Qualcomm\u2019s second-generation Oryon CPU, and has been designed to \u201chandle the complexities of multi-modal AI\u201d much more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any phones equipped with Qualcomm\u2019s latest chipset will deliver faster app launches, more seamless multitasking, and more powerful generative AI capabilities than their Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-equipped predecessors, and mobile gamers, too, will benefit from sharper images, smoother gameplay, and longer gameplay sessions thanks to the 8 Elite\u2019s improved Adreno GPU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
