Barring Samsung and Huawei phones, chipsets in the Android world are virtually limited to one of two choices — Qualcomm or MediaTek — and the options only thin as you enter the flagship realm where the former enjoys near-total domination.

To one-up that and quite possibly improve on the shortcomings of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Qualcomm's now teased a new event for this week — and it's expected to launch an update to its flagship processor.
