After launching several flagship phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor in China, phone companies are now preparing to unveil semi-flagship versions running on the non-Elite version of the same processor, which has not appeared in any official phone yet.

But it seems that this will change soon, as the trusted leaker Digital Chat Station via the Weibo platform revealed that two phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor will be launched in November 2025.

He explained that one of the phones will be geared towards high performance, as it will come with a battery of more than 8000 mAh and a screen with a refresh rate of 165 Hz, which makes it suitable for fans of gaming and high performance.
