Qualcomm has a new 3nm chipset apart from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 that could make the Galaxy S26 FE ooze exceptional value
, there existed only the Snapdragon 8 Elite, making it severely difficult for Qualcomm’s smartphone partners to choose anything that was not a flagship-level chipset. This year, the San Diego firm has followed in Apple’s footsteps and introduced not just the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but also confirmed the existence of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The latter could be the ideal addition to the Galaxy S26 FE, making it Samsung’s best ‘price to performance’ launch to date.Since Samsung has nothing in between its upcoming Exynos 2600 and Exynos 2500, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will become the obvious choice for the Galaxy S26 FE
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is scheduled to arrive later this year, with its biggest strength not just sharing the same 3nm ‘N3P’ lithography as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but also being treated to Qualcomm’s in-house Oryon cores, enabling better performance and efficiency from the SoC.
