Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship SoC in September and followed it up with a non-Elite version two days ago. The OnePlus 15R, launching on December 17, will be the first smartphone in international markets to have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 under the hood. Qualcomm confirmed that Motorola will announce a smartphone with this chip soon, but there's no word from the Lenovo-owned brand about it yet.

Oppo unveiled the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China in July and later introduced them in India. We haven't heard from Oppo about the launch of the K15 series yet, but reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared key specs of an unannounced smartphone that could be the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro. According to DCS, this unannounced mid-range smartphone, featuring a "waterproof" and "theoretically dustproof" cooling fan for active cooling, is powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 was also believed to come in a 1+7 configuration, but reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claimed it will come in a 2+6 configuration like its Elite counterpart. That means two prime cores and six performance cores. The tipster also said that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 would use the Adreno 840 GPU, but its performance won't be the same as the Elite chip's.

The OnePlus 15 is on sale in most global markets. Compared to the OnePlus 13 launch prices, the US price is the same. In Europe, the 12/256GB model is €50 cheaper, but the 16/512GB variant is now €50 more. In India, both models are ₹3,000 more.

The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 was announced in late September and is built on the 3nm node by TSMC, but according to the latest rumor, Samsung will be tasked with the production of the "for Galaxy" iteration that the company has been implementing in its flagship phones for the past couple of generations. Moreover, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 for Galaxy SoC won't be just an overclocked version of the standard one, but it will likely be built on Samsung's 2nm GAA process.

The brand has started teasing the Moto X70 Air, and it's all very obvious from that name, isn't it? In case you still had doubts about how this device is meant to be positioned in the market, take a look at the official teaser image below. That's clearly a shot meant to emphasize its thinness. If you're intrigued, thankfully you won't have a lot longer to wait to find out all the details about the X70 Air,

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship SoC at the recently concluded Snapdragon Summit, held in Maui, Hawaii. Alongside that, the chipmaker also introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, developed "to give you more choices and flexibility, while still delivering flagship features." While Qualcomm didn't detail the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, it has shared key details about the chip.

Oppo is apparently already working on the K15 mid-range series, which will succeed the K13 line, skipping over K14 because of tetraphobia. The K15 line is said to comprise three models, with three different screen sizes. The middle child will get a 6.5-inch panel or thereabouts. The top of the line model will allegedly be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, not to be confused with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
