The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset was launched last year in October. It’s an octa-core chipset that is primarily made for Android flagship devices. It is probably the most powerful chipset you can get around. It can even beat its competitors in some aspects. However, the chipset was very costly and it caused the brands to hike the prices of their new devices. And to tackle this, it looks like Qualcomm has now released a new version of the same chipset.
