Some of the biggest upcoming phones of 2022 are likely to feature the next-gen chipset from Qualcomm, and we're set to hear about it today during the first part of the company's Tech Summit 2021 event.

Qualcomm has confirmed its next-gen chipset won't be called the Snapdragon 898, as some had previously expected. Instead, the company is changing up its name for its flagship platform and we've yet to find out what it'll be called.

That's one of the announcements we expect to hear today, but we're also anticipating news on the new chipset and maybe even some confirmations from phone manufacturers on whether each plans to use the new platform.

We're live at the Tech Summit 2021 event in Hawaii, and we'll be bringing you all the latest news throughout the day. The keynote kicks off at 3PM PST, 6PM EST, 11PM GMT (or 10AM AEDT on Wednesday December 1).

Before that, we'll be talking you through some of the rumored features for the next-gen chipset and everything else we've heard about it so far.

Welcome to our Tech Summit 2021 coverage where you'll be among the first to hear about everything that happens at today's keynote.
