The Taiwanese giant is confident that its technology is so advanced that Huawei, China and other new competitors will not be able to catch up. This assertion is not unfounded, as even established market players have failed to challenge its dominance.
Qualcomm may employ a dual manufacturing strategy for its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, planning to utilise the production facilities of both Samsung and TSMC. This decision was made possible by a significant improvement in production quality at Samsung's factories, as evidenced by the high performance of the Exynos 2400 chipset in the Galaxy S24 series.
Qualcomm's next flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, will reportedly bring a significant change to its smartphone SoC line-up by using specially designed Orion processor cores. The new cores are rumoured to boost the performance of the new chip by leaps and bounds.

According to the latest rumours, Qualcomm's next flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, promises a significant performance boost over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. But will these results be enough to beat Apple's A18 Pro chip!
Samsung, which has received a lot of criticism for its underperforming Exynos chips over the years, seems to be improving its performance. The Exynos 2400 chip is significantly better than previous Exynos chips. Thanks in part to a powerful new GPU created in collaboration with AMD, Samsung was able to achieve this result. However, Samsung may abandon AMD's developments in favour of its own GPU for the Galaxy S26.
For the first time in history, a smartphone running on a MediaTek chipset will appear on the US market. This became known during the Analyst Day event held by MediaTek. The new smartphone will not just be an entry-level or mid-range device, but a full-fledged flagship.
