Overview
- A Weibo post from Digital Chat Station, reported by Android Headlines, claims Qualcomm is developing a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro alongside the standard chip.
- Reports say both Gen 6 variants target TSMC’s 2nm process, with industry chatter pointing to the N2P variant to bolster yields and performance.
- Tipsters suggest the Pro version would be limited to “Ultra” or high-end imaging flagships rather than mainstream models.

- Launch timing remains uncertain, with coverage pointing to a late-2026 window that could slip into 2027.
