The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 has officially been released, but its true potential will only be realized once it powers various mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.
If you’re curious about which smartphones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, you’re in the right place.
Many brands have already confirmed plans to launch devices with this new processor, and several specific models have been identified.
The Xiaomi 17 series has been confirmed to utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 ahead of its official unveiling at the Snapdragon Summit.
This series includes the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Notably, Xiaomi is bypassing the number 16 in its series and is adopting the “Pro Max” terminology for its top-tier model, mirroring the naming convention used in the iPhone lineup.

The launch of the Xiaomi 17 series is expected on September 25, but it’s worth noting two key points:
Firstly, this launch pertains to the Chinese market, with a global release likely not happening until March 2026. Additionally, it’s improbable that the Xiaomi 17 Pro will be made available in the UK.
