The initial commercial deployment of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is anticipated with the OnePlus 15R, slated for an international launch on December 17th.
Following this announcement, Qualcomm confirmed that Motorola is also preparing to launch a smartphone incorporating the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. While official details from Motorola remain undisclosed, industry insider Evan Blass has released information regarding a forthcoming Motorola device, codenamed “Urus,” expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
