        Anonymous, 15 Apr 2026All this for just about " $320" per chip. Thank you geeks !! Three hundred and twenty whole US dollars? Alibaba is selling an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K for less money than this. This is insane.

          2023: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
          2024: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
          2024: Snapdragon 8 Elite
          2025: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
          2025: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
          2025: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
          2026: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6
          2026: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro

          They sure know how to bottle a seemingly simple 'Snapdragon X Gen Y' naming scheme. What will 2027 have in store? A Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 7 Pro+? Maybe a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 8 Pro Max in 2028? Possibly a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 9 Ultra the year after that? I dread to think what will happen.

            We don't care.

            It's people like you that allow manufacturers like Google to get away with underwhelming Tensor Chips inside their flagships.

              Anonymous, 15 Apr 2026How's that battery charging speed? Well my samsung s24 plus has 45w charging. Takes around 1 hour to charge. As for my oneplus pad 3 it has 80w charging. Takes around 1 hour because of much larger battery. My phone has 4900mah battery my tablet has 12140mah. Overall charging isn't that slow and battery life is great as well.

                            why no one can build one? maybe because its impossible with the cuttent year technology ?

                              Anonymous, 15 Apr 2026Regular SD8Gen6 is nothing but the lower binned chip with less cache. I think they'll put that in the budget flagships.

                              For Example:
                              The OnePlus 16 will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Pro chip.
                              &
                              The OnePlus 16R will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 chip.
