At Qualcomm Summit 2024, they revealed the powerful new Snapdragon 8 Elite (not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, as expected), with all of the key specs that'll go into your 2025 flagship phone. Here's everything we know.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is using the in-house Oryon CPU cores—now on mobile after debuting with the Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus —alongside the next step in its Adreno 830 GPU for battery ray tracing on a TSMC 3nm processor.

On stage at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, the chipmaker introduced its newest silicon for premium phones, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Soon after, Xiaomi took the stage to declare that the first device to use this chip will be its own flagship Xiaomi 15, which is coming by the end of October.
