- Qualcomm might offer a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in the coming months.
- This suggests another naming convention shakeup of sorts for the brand’s top-tier smartphone processors.
Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset late last year, which delivered a major leap forward for Android phones. This also marked a change in naming convention compared to the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, it seems like both naming conventions could co-exist in the future.
Prolific leaker Digital Chat Station posted on Weibo that the company’s rumored SM8845 chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Check out the machine-translated screen below.
