The Snapdragon 8 Elite is an impressive upgrade for Android phones, but it looks like we've got leaks about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2.

Qualcomm may launch a Snapdragon 8s Elite chip for upper-midrange phones, possibly debuting in April 2025. The Snapdragon 8s Elite is rumored to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 but falls short of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It could bring better efficiency and might power phones with massive 7000mAh batteries.

Qualcomm just unveiled its new flagship mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, bringing major performance and efficiency upgrades compared to the previous generation. Now, we have a leak suggesting another Snapdragon Elite chip is on its way,

A recent round of rumors claim Qualcomm's "Snapdragon 8s Elite" will feature a power that sits between two past-gen SoCs. The chip is rumored to see a power that's greater than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but weaker than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Rumors claim the chip could see a Q1 2025 debut alongside another midrange-focused SoC.
