          Hopefully devices equipped with it will be cheaper than the current 8 Elite

            By the time Sony sells one unit, the fruit brand has already sold millions, hahaha, clown!

                    Anonymous, 19 Nov 2025You complain about the absurdity of the name (which is abso... moreI mean, Apple keeps their Apple Silicon naming pretty clean for the most part, not perfect but it's pretty okay compared to their competitors who can't afford to be like Apple. Qualcomm and MediaTek make and sell chips, not smartphones with their own chips. So… Buying based on just the naming of a computer chip sounds stupid even though it shouldn't be stupid. Still I won't forgive these tech companies for making it hard to understand which is which by the names.

                      YUKI93, 19 Nov 2025I'll have whatever you're smoking. 🥴🥴I want to try what you're smoking too, hehehehe, always the same thing! Nobody uses that crap. Let's go back to 2012, hahaha! And talking about Sony as if anyone even cares about Sony...

                          Anonymous, 19 Nov 2025Very simple. Buy OnePlus 15 or wait for Galaxy S26 Ultra.Oh, an iPhone or a Pixel! They have their own chip and aren't so repackaged. Qualcomm seems more like a Chinese company than an American one... Releasing so many repackaged products and using so many confusing names. Luckily, the average user doesn't ask about the phone's SoC, because if they did, they'd leave the store with a migraine, haha.

                                  Thanks a lot Qualcomm

                                    I still find it absurd how they name their processors, like it's totally inconsistent and stupid

                                    Okay Qualcomm, I'll just go buy an iPhone now. They keep things simple

                                      Wow. 26 November i guess we will see Poco F8 that day too along with the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra. The F8 will have the new 8 Gen 5 hope it will be as power as 8 Gen 4 Elite and at 400 euro price range.

                                        "The tipster also said that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 would use the Adreno 840 GPU, but its performance won't be the same as the Elite chip's"

                                        What's the use of giving adreno 840 then? Adreno 830 would have worked.
