Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsTabletThe Android Chip to Beat in 2026 Gets a Name
With less than 10 days left until its tech conference, Qualcomm has already revealed the name of its most important announcement at the event. The successor to this year’s flagship Android processor will be presented during the Snapdragon Summit 2025, and if you thought it was going to be called Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, you were wrong.
Snapdragon Summit starts on the 23rd of September in Hawaii, and as in previous years, all attention will be on Qualcomm’s next top-of-the-line mobile chip. But not one to hold on to logical naming schemes, the North American company will be calling it Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
It remains to be seen if the same logic will trickle down Qualcomm’s product stack, but since all intermediate chips from the company are in their fourth generation, it wouldn’t be hard to do so.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves, after all, the company we are talking about is not really famous for keeping a consistent naming strategy for its products:
2025: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
2024: Snapdragon 8 Elite
2023: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
2022: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
2021: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
2020: Snapdragon 888
2019: Snapdragon 865
2019: Snapdragon 855
2018: Snapdragon 845
2017: Snapdragon 835
2015: Snapdragon 820
Android Performance Champion for 2026?
Besides giving excuses for the new name, Qualcomm made bold claims that its Elite line is “reserved for products […] that push boundaries in capability, experience, and innovation.”. We will learn more next week, when Qualcomm will take the stage to present not only the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 but also other chips that we will find in mobile phones and other devices in 2026. Stay tuned!
