Qualcomm exec denies Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 heating issues

Qualcomm executive Don McGuire said there are "no thermal issues" with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The remark follows a Korean report that Samsung and Qualcomm are addressing overheating in the Extreme version, or the Galaxy S27 Ultra could switch to Exynos only.

• McGuire wrote on X that the 8 Elite Gen 6 has no thermal issues
• It is unclear whether he meant the standard chip or both variants
• A Korean outlet reported overheating in the 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6
• Without a fix, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could be Exynos-only
