Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Elite seems to be able to deliver major battery life improvements for Android phones equipped with the chip.

I believe the phone manufacturers will make phones with longer battery life using this technology. Surely they won't abuse it to make thinner phones that has smaller battery capacity.

Surely they won't make the software even more CPU hungry either.

Curious to see how this plays out. I was planning on upgrading my Note 20 to an S25 Ultra next year, but I keep hearing inconsistent things about this chip and now I'm hesitant.

Just a few months ago early leaks seemed to indicate it was a battery hog, now it's apparently not. But now some phones are apparently overheating with it, but maybe adequate cooling solutions will make this a non-issue.

I dunno, just scared we might have another early 800s chipset on our hands.
