News & Reviews:   Qualcomm

In recent months, AI has been one of the biggest tech topics on everyone's mind. Many companies are looking into different ideas like generative AI, and some have tried implementing these ideas in mobile devices. In fact, ChatGPT was released recently on iOS and Android.

Qualcomm has been developing AI tech for more than a decade. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, they provide AI capabilities to flagship mobile devices. But how does the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 help with AI? Here are some of the AI-powered features I've found.

If you think Redmi is done with the Redmi Note 12 series, then think again as the Xiaomi subsidiary is set to release yet another variant of the device soon. Touted to be the Note 12R, the smartphone is also the first to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC.

Qualcomm will hold its annual Snapdragon Summit from 24 to 26 October this year, where it is expected to debut the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Like previous flagship mobile processors from the company, the chip will be powering high-end Android devices and if a recent leak is to be believed, this would include the Redmi K70 series.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 hasn't been out for that long, but we're already getting news about its successor. An official update from Qualcomm has confirmed that the Snapdragon Summit will be held from 24-26 October 2023, making it about 3 weeks earlier than the one last year.

What if I told you, you could have the power of a gaming desktop PC in the palm of your hands? That’s right, it’s all in your smartphone. Not just any smartphone, but one that’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Deeply integrated into the high-end Snapdragon  8 Gen 2 chipset is the Snapdragon Elite Gaming platform. What does it do you may ask? We’re going to dive deeper into the 8 Gen 2 mobile platform and how it will change the mobile gaming landscape.

MediaTek is touted to be working on its next-generation flagship mobile processor, the Dimensity 9300. Moreover, the SoC will reportedly rival Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.eeee

Qualcomm is touted to release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC later this year and it may get some serious improvements from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In fact, the upcoming processor may get a 50 per cent boost in GPU performance.

Recently, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc held an event in Kuala Lumpur on 29 March 2023 to showcase its latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the potential of Connected Intelligent Edge. The event was part of its ongoing campaign, "The Edge of Possible".

Previously, we reported that Qualcomm is set to release the successor to its upper mid-range mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. True to the rumours, the SoC did release today, but with a slightly different name than expected, as it is called the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1.

Flagships phones are great, but not everyone can afford them. Mid-range devices could be better, as they can be powerful enough while being cheaper. In that sense, the upcoming mid-range Qualcomm chipset could just be what many people want.
