In June this year, Qualcomm announced the major events and cycles that will be held in the coming year, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit, which will be held in Hawaii from November 15 to 17 this year. According to previous rules, Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship processor Snapdragon 8 Gen2 (SM8550) will be launched at the summit.

The first Snapdragon 8 Gen2-powered phones are scheduled to be released after Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit, tentatively scheduled for the second half of November, as previously revealed by digital blogger @DigitalGossipStop, and the blogger said the first launchers are still on track.
The @DigitalRamblings Station previously broke the news that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, Xiaomi 13 series, Redmi K60 series, and Vivo X90 series would all be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processors.

The new flagship processor, Snapdragon 8 Gen2, will offer at least a 15% improvement in overall power efficiency compared to Snapdragon 8+ Gen1. As Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is also expected to be OEM’d by TSMC and will still use the 4nm process.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Technology Summit last year was held on December 1-2, 2021, when it brought out the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip, and Qualcomm has now also launched the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip.
