Qualcomm has announced the dates and location for its Snapdragon Summit 2026. The annual event will take place from September 22 to September 24 in Maui, Hawaii. Multiple outlets report that Qualcomm typically uses Snapdragon Summit to introduce its next flagship mobile platforms, and expectations are focused on a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets.
While Qualcomm has not detailed what it will announce at this year’s summit, rumors and leaks cited by the outlets point to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series. Several reports specifically mention the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 as well as a higher-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. Additional speculation in one source suggests the newer chips may represent an upgrade, including a potential move toward a 2nm process, though no official confirmation is provided.
One outlet also links the rumored Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro to upcoming flagship phone lines, including devices from OnePlus, iQOO, and Xiaomi, but this attribution remains unverified. Overall, the key confirmed information is the summit’s timing and venue, with the chip details remaining subject to ongoing reporting and future announcements by Qualcomm.
