Qualcomm’s monstrous Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is already inside real phones you can buy right now – and the performance numbers are straight-up ridiculous.One of these devices is currently sitting at almost 3.2 million points on AnTuTu.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Phones

Here are the phones that already have the world’s fastest mobile chip in December 2025:Xiaomi 17 Series – The first to launch (October 2025)

  • The Xiaomi 17 Ultra packs a 1-inch main sensor, runs Android 16 out of the box, and is already shipping globally. People are literally calling it “the iPhone killer of 2025.”
  • Realme GT 8 Pro – The current benchmark king 3,198,424 on AnTuTu. Let that sink in.
  • OnePlus 15 – Yes, they skipped 14 Global launch done, Hasselblad cameras tuned to perfection, 100W charging, and buttery-smooth OxygenOS 16.
  • iQOO 15 – The sleeper gaming monster 144 Hz screen, 100x zoom periscope, and costs hundreds less than the competition.
  • RedMagic 11 Pro – For people who actually game Up to 24 GB RAM, built-in cooling fan, 7,500 mAh battery, and wireless charging that doesn’t make you cry.
  • Vivo X300 Pro – Dual 200 MP cameras?! Vivo said “why stop at one ridiculous sensor” and just went full chaos mode.

Other upcoming or recently teased models like the POCO F8 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra are hitting shelves this month. Note that while performance is stellar (20%+ uplift over the Gen 4 in CPU/GPU), some early reviews highlight thermal challenges during intensive tasks like gaming, leading to occasional throttling. If you're in a specific region, check local retailers for stock—e.g., the Xiaomi 17 is already on sale in Thailand via Shopee.

Early reviews all say the same thing: this chip is stupidly fast. We’re talking 45 % faster CPU, 40 % faster GPU, and on-device AI that actually feels like magic compared to last year.The only catch? Some phones get toasty when you push them for hours (looking at you, 4K 120 fps gaming), but most brands have already rolled out updates that tame thermals.

Bottom line: If you’re planning to buy a 2025 flagship, waiting for the “Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5” in January might be too late. The war is already over – and these phones just won it.Which one are you buying? Drop your pick in the comments before prices go insane during holiday season!
