News & Reviews:   Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

After months of leaks and speculation, Qualcomm has officially confirmed that its next-generation chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, will be revealed on 26 November 2025 in China. This announcement was made via a Weibo post from Qualcomm.

As previously reported, this year's Snapdragon Summit introduced two new premium flagship-class mobile chipsets. The first one is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but how does the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 differ? According to Qualcomm, not as much as you'd think.

The Snapdragon Summit later this month could be more packed than previous years. Previously, it was reported that Qualcomm would launch two flagship chipsets this year. But that's not all, as the company could also unveil an overclocked variant for one of the new chipsets.

Earlier this month, it was rumoured that Qualcomm could launch two flagship chipsets for the next generation. It's uncertain whether both will be unveiled at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit. But the latest report suggests that the two chipsets will be more similar than expected.
