The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 might be a little too pricey for Qualcomm’s partners’ liking, but it is the preferred chipset for consumers when they are shopping for the latest and greatest Android flagship. According to a market research firm survey, respondents are three times more willing to pay for a Snapdragon SoC and do not mind forking over a 16 percent premium just as long as the silicon powers their next device. For Samsung, this is a major conundrum as the company looks to reduce its chipset expenditure heavily by introducing the Exynos 2600 to the Galaxy S26 family early next year.From the same survey, 84 percent of respondents said that they consider Qualcomm to be the leader in the smartphone chipset segment
The survey was conducted by Qualcomm itself, with Korean media outlet Chosun failing to mention the name of the market research firm and the number of participants.
