Qualcomm has finally shared some benchmark scores for its latest 2025 flagship mobile platform for Android phones, the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
While benchmark numbers are always a good point of reference, they should always be taken with a pinch of salt. Synthetic benchmark scores merely reflect the potential performance of a component or processor.
Real-life usage almost always differs, be it the duration, the workload intensity of an app, or even the type of optimisations an OEM (phone maker) may choose to include (e.g., vapour chambers, additional RAM, etc.).
In Qualcomm’s benchmarking of Snapdragon 8 Elite, the chipset platform was wired into a Qualcomm Reference Design phone (affectionately called a QRD phone). These phones are test units that Qualcomm uses for its internal lab testing and pitching of new features to customers. They are not commercially available.
