The message in the short clip further confirms that "Dual 8 Elites are coming soon". This is in line with earlier leaks which have hinted at the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipsets. These chipsets are expected to power the next generation of flagship phones, including the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra and Oppo Find X10 Ultra.

Recent Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 leaks have suggested that both the new 8 Elite processors are likely to come in 2+3+3 configurations, with 4th Gen Oryon cores. A key difference between the two will be the GMEM and type of RAM; the standard Gen 6 is expected to come with 12 MB GMEM and LPDDR5X support, while the Gen 6 Pro will likely get 18 MB GMEM and LPDDR6.

Earlier this month, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro AnTuTu scores leaked online, hinting at a substantial jump in performance. With early benchmarks putting it at 4.84 million points, the upcoming chipset could set new standards for mobile gaming. With just a month away from the Snapdragon Summit 2026 event, we should get more information about these chipsets in the coming weeks.
