Default The next Snapdragon flagship SoC could be good news for Android phones, bad

TL;DR
  • A new leak claims that the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 SoC by Qualcomm will utilize TSMC’s advanced N2P chip process for improved performance and efficiency.
  • It is expected to support LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, offering significant enhancements over the current 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.
  • However, continued increases in manufacturing costs may make next-gen flagship phones with this future chip notably pricier.

Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the SoC of choice for many next-generation Android flagships. It’s the latest and greatest chip on the block, announced just a few weeks ago. The cycle for new phones has just gotten started with this new SoC, but we’re already seeing leaks appear for its successor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. There’s good news and then there’s bad news, so let’s start with the good news.
