The last quarter of the year always belongs to Qualcomm. The chipmaker historically hosts an event to unveil what’s coming next for the iconic Snapdragon line. This year is no different. However, it’s coming a bit earlier than expected. The company has officially confirmed that the annual Snapdragon Summit is happening between October 24 to 26.

As always, the Snapdragon Summit will happen in the sunny shores of Maui, Hawaii. However, the official invite confirms a date almost a month earlier than last year’s Summit. Last year, Qualcomm held the event right in the middle of November.

Qualcomm could still throw a curveball and refuse to release the next flagship processor at the event. However, the chances are remarkably low. The company historically launches its most premium offering during the annual event.

Last year, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, an improvement over the first generation of the 8 Series. This time, the company is expected to launch Gen 3 of the iconic lineup.

Currently, not much is known about how the company plans to improve the lineup. However, an earlier launch date means that we will see products with the chipset as early as the holiday season of this year. We won’t have to wait until the next Galaxy smartphone for a remarkably decent flagship with the chipset.
