Qualcomm has always been ahead of the rest when it comes to technology. We’ve only barely scratched the surface when it comes to 5G chipsets on smartphones and Qualcomm has already announced their next-gen modem-integrated processor.
This is their first 5G chipset that integrates its 5G technology with the Snapdragon applications processor that processes all the apps on a device. This in turn reduces power consumption of the smartphone, resulting in longer battery life. Besides that, as the 5G chipset is now a standalone and no longer bundled with others, it saves a lot of space in the device, making for more compact devices or larger batteries.
Samsung may be the first manufacturer to be using the 5G chipset this year, putting them ahead of other OEMs who are looking to do the same. We can already tell that most smartphones may be utilizing this chipset bar Apple and Huawei who have their own. This puts these two companies at a disadvantage as Qualcomm is already light years ahead of their own technologies.
Not running out of steam, Qualcomm also announced that their Quick Charge will be integrated into wireless charging. At MWC 2019, the company mentioned that their wireless Quick Charge technology will allow compliant wireless chargers and devices to get benefits of Quick Charge wireless technology.
We can see this technology being utilized on most smartphone brands this year, at least the ones that are already using Qualcomm’s Quick Charge. The upcoming wireless Quick Charge claims to be able to pull off 32W rapid fast charging and yes, they are looking to support Quick Charge following Qi compatibilities.
Qualcomm is looking to speed up things this year with their brand new next-gen 5G chipsets as well as their wireless Quick Charge technology. We can definitely see most major smartphone brands benefiting from this so this is something to be celebrated. Maybe finally we can see some improvement in wireless charge times opposed to cabled charging. No clue when these technologies would be out on the market but you can be sure to be the first to know when you follow TechNave.com!
