Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite seems to be able to deliver major battery life improvements for Android phones equipped with the chip.

    Curious to see how this plays out. I was planning on upgrading my Note 20 to an S25 Ultra next year, but I keep hearing inconsistent things about this chip and now I’m hesitant.

    Just a few months ago early leaks seemed to indicate it was a battery hog, now it’s apparently not. But now some phones are apparently overheating with it, but maybe adequate cooling solutions will make this a non-issue.

    I dunno, just scared we might have another early 800s chipset on our hands.

    I believe the phone manufacturers will make phones with longer battery life using this technology. Surely they won’t abuse it to make thinner phones that has smaller battery capacity.
