I knew nothing about this subject, but a little search reveals that the chip is a Qualcomm product intended for notebooks & laptops, and there is a competing product from Lenovo as well as Asus. It uses the ARMv9 architecture. According to Debian documentation, ARMv8 hardware appeared late in the Trixie development cycle, so it's not surprising there is limited support for a more recent spec yet. I expect that in the fullness of time, Debian will fully support products like this. In the meantime, following Tomas' suggestion sounds very sensible to keep up with the state of development.
