Latest high-end chipset
Qualcomm has officially announced the date of the Snapdragon Tech Summit on their own website. The event, where we always get to see the company’s latest high-end processor, will be held from November 15 to 17.
Not much is known about Qualcomm’s latest high-end processor. According to the famous rumor spreader Ice Universe, the new processor will have to be a lot more economical and efficient compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 888. It is also rumored that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 would be much faster than the latest upcoming high-end processor from Samsung, the Exynos 2300 chip. As a result, Samsung will even choose not to provide any device in the S23 series with its own Exynos chipset.

About a month after the introduction of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Realme already came with the GT 2 Pro and Xiaomi with the Xiaomi 12 series. Two of the three devices from this series have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. If this trend continues, we could expect new flagships at the beginning of December.
