This Chip Will Power 2026's Best Android Phones. I Can't Wait to See What It Can Do
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 offers up to 20% improved CPU performance and introduces ARM's Scalable Matrix Extensions for faster AI tasks, marking a key advancement in flagship chipsets.
- Qualcomm will officially unveil its next flagship smartphone chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, at the Snapdragon Summit 2025 in Hawaii from September 23 to 25.
- The launch follows Qualcomm’s shift last year to a new naming scheme that combines generation numbers with the ‘Elite’ moniker reserved for flagship mobile platforms.
- The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 continues using the custom Oryon CPU cores acquired from Nuvia, and Qualcomm plans to apply the Gen 5 badge across multiple chipsets beyond the flagship this year.
- Qualcomm stated the naming better reflects 'unprecedented performance gains' and marks the fifth generation since their single-digit naming and visual identity update.
- This launch aims to clarify Qualcomm’s product roadmap and is expected to support upcoming flagship Android phones like Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, which may use a higher-clocked variant of the chip.
