- A report suggests that Qualcomm could rename the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 4” to “Snapdragon 8 Elite.”
- However, the report cites now-deleted marketing materials for the upcoming Xiaomi 15 series, alongside a vague post from a leaker.
We’ve reviewed the phone releases expected in the year, so it’s time to look forward to the launch of the flagship processors that will power the next generation of Android flagships. Qualcomm and MediaTek are expected to unveil their flagship processors in the next month, and we’ll soon see the next wave of flagships launch first in China and then globally by the end of the year or early next year. If you were thinking of picking up a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagship, it seems Qualcomm has some other plans on what it could be called.
Leaker Digital Chat Station posted an image on Weibo showcasing a phone featuring the Snapdragon Elite Gaming poster, with the caption “Snapdragon Elite.”
