In less than a month, on October 21, the Qualcomm Tech Summit 2024 event will begin its work, at which the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 single-chip system will be announced, but, apparently, Qualcomm has again revised the naming of its mobile platforms.
Judging by the teaser that appeared online today, Qualcomm’s next top chipset will receive the marketing name Snapdragon 8 Elite, and not Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, as expected. It seems that the developer has decided to go to a meeting with his Asian partners, who are quite wary of the number 4.
By the way, the published poster also indicates the date of the official premiere of smartphones of the new flagship Xiaomi 15 line – the announcement of these devices will take place on October 23, the last day of the Qualcomm Tech Summit 2024 forum.
By the way, a very well-known Digital Chat Station insider had previously said that Qualcomm would abandon the Gen 4 labeling, which once again confirms the future change in the labeling of Qualcomm chipsets.
