Overview

  • Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station claims Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship will carry the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 name rather than the expected Elite 2.
  • Outlets report conflicting codenames for the chip, with SM8850 and SM8550 both cited in separate articles.
  • Coverage suggests Qualcomm will also offer a separate Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 positioned below the Elite-branded part.
  • GSMArena notes an alleged early benchmark of the Elite Gen 5 in a purported OnePlus 15 device, though the listing has not been verified.
  • Android Central cites rumored scores near 4,000 single-core and around 11,000 multi-core, and reporters urge skepticism until Qualcomm’s September event.
