A new leak claims Qualcomm is preparing a fourth Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variant, the SM8850-1-AB, offering near-flagship benchmark performance at a lower cost aimed at phones priced under roughly $600. The rumored chip would give phone makers a cheaper option as rising RAM and component costs push up prices for Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 lineup.
