Qualcomm is set to launch its next flagship processor, rumored to be named the Snapdragon 8 Elite, on October 21. This time, the flagship processor might not follow the expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 naming convention.
Xiaomi will be the first brand to debut a phone with this processor. Annually, the company introduces its premium device with Qualcomm's flagship technology. This year, the Xiaomi 15 series will premiere with the newest processor.
The company plans a launch event by the month's end. According to tipsters, we might see the Snapdragon 8 Elite in both the OnePlus 13 and iQOO 13. Remember, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor is set for a late-month release.
We might witness the launch of new phones from Xiaomi, OnePlus, and iQOO within this month. Notably, iQOO 12 was unveiled in November last year, and the OnePlus 12 was launched in December 2023. This year, companies may introduce their flagship smartphones earlier.
