Qualcomm’s next flagship chip might come in two flavors, just to complicate
 

TL;DR

• Qualcomm is rumored to launch its next flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, in two tiers: Standard and Pro.
• The Pro version may offer faster LPDDR6 RAM, higher GPU clocks, and stronger AI performance, while the Standard could dial things back for affordability.
• This naming split could help shoppers pick based on needs, but also risks confusing buyers who assume all “Gen 6” phones are equal.

Qualcomm has just introduced its latest flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and it’s already powering many upcoming Android heavy-hitters. But even with that release still fresh, rumors about its successor are gaining momentum. The next high-end processor, expected to launch as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, may arrive in two distinct tiers: a Standard version and a more powerful Pro variant.
