#Snapdragon 8s Elite specs

Qualcomm may soon bring high-end performance to more affordable smartphones, thanks to the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset, which could begin appearing in devices as early as next month. Originally believed to be launching in March, the Snapdragon 8s Elite now appears to be slated for an April debut. What makes the Snapdragon 8s Elite so interesting is its positioning between two of Qualcomm's recent heavy hitters—the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, there’s one notable caveat: the 8s Elite is rumored to use standard ARM cores rather than Qualcomm's custom Oryon cores, which have been a standout feature in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the Snapdragon X series. Despite being a "lite" version of Qualcomm’s elite chipset lineup, the Snapdragon 8s Elite is still expected to bring several flagship-tier features to the table. The first wave of Snapdragon 8s Elite-powered devices will likely come from Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, iQOO, and Honor, which often move quickly to adopt Qualcomm’s new chipsets. And with plenty of phones “sporting it,” the Snapdragon 8s Elite may become a go-to chip for 2025’s most competitive mid-tier handsets. Under the hood, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip powers the said tablet and is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
