The first Snapdragon 8 Elite phone is the Xiaomi 15.

Qualcomm announced its newest flagship mobile SoC just last week and as usual, Xiaomi will be the first one to put that chipset in a phone. Both the 15 and 15 Pro use the 8 Elite, and the 15 Pro pairs it with an absolutely massive 6100mAh battery. They’re only launching in China for now, but fingers crossed for a global launch in 2025.
