Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
Qualcomm's 2025 answer to the question nobody expected: a second flagship tier below the 8 Elite Gen 5. Two 3.8 GHz Oryon prime cores and a detuned Adreno 840 deliver ninety percent of the flagship for a lot less money in phones like the OnePlus 15R and iQOO Z11 Turbo.
Pros
- Oryon prime cores at a sub-flagship price
- 2.7-million-plus measured AnTuTu total
- Opens the flagship-killer segment for 2026
Cons
- GPU clearly cut down from the 8 Elite Gen 5
- X80 modem, not the flagship X85
- Confusingly named against 8 Elite Gen 5
Very good
