Despite rumors claiming that a Snapdragon 836 was going to be on the cards, sources familiar with the matter have reiterated that Qualcomm has absolutely no plans on introducing an upgraded SoC for the remaining smartphones and tablets of 2017.

Rumors circulated that Qualcomm would take a similar approach like last year to unveil a more powerful SoC based on the same lithography. Manufacturers like OnePlus, Xiaomi, Google and several others took this announcement to their advantage, releasing their own flagships that delivered slightly more punch than earlier released mobile phones.
