TL;DR

• Qualcomm will officially release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip on November 26 in China.
• The OnePlus Ace 6T is confirmed to be the first phone to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
• The Ace 6T is expected to launch globally as the OnePlus 15R in December.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is proving too hot to handle for Android flagships, but there’s another flagship chip coming in from Qualcomm for those who don’t need as much overkill. The company had shared some information about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 when it launched the 8 Elite Gen 5, and we’ve seen leaks fill in some of the details. Now, Qualcomm has officially begun teasing the launch of this chip, scheduled for the end of the month. This new chip will debut on the OnePlus Ace 6T, which in turn is likely to be rebranded as the OnePlus 15R.
