During the company’s annual Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm Technologies unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, its most recent premium mobile platform.<\/p>\n

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, designed with “groundbreaking AI” throughout, will set a new standard, claims Qualcomm.<\/p>\n

ASUS, Honor, iQOO, Motorola, nubia, OnePlus, OPPO, Redmagic, Redmi, Sharp, Sony, Vivo, Xiaomi, XINGJI\/MEIZU, and ZTE are a few of the OEMs and companies planning to use the platform. By the end of 2022, the first commercial devices are anticipated.<\/p>\n

“Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, will revolutionize the landscape of flagship smartphones in 2023,\u201d said Chris Patrick, SVP and general manager of mobile handsets at Qualcomm, in a\u00a0statement<\/a>. \u201cSnapdragon 8 Gen 2 delivers groundbreaking AI, unparalleled connectivity, and champion-level gameplay, enabling consumers to enhance every experience on their most trusted device.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the standout features is Snapdragon Smart, which is powered by a new Hexagon engine and gives customers access to enhanced AI photography functions and speedier natural language processing.<\/p>\n

According to the business, the Snapdragon Sight platform “defines a new era of professional quality camera experiences.” According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 “automatically enhances photos and videos in real-time with semantic segmentation,” which employs an AI neural network to contextually recognise faces, facial features, hair, clothes, skies, and more – and individually optimise each one so that every detail receives specialised professional image tuning.<\/p>\n

Real-time hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which provides “life-like light, reflections and illuminations to mobile games,” is one of the new gaming capabilities enabled by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 the company said. The upgraded Qualcomm Adreno GPU promises up to 25% faster performance and the Qualcomm Kryo CPU enables up to 40% more power efficiency, so users can enjoy longer battery life.<\/p>\n

With “unparalleled” connection from 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 enables ground-breaking 5G upload and download speeds, coverage, latency, and power efficiency, according to Qualcomm.<\/p>\n

The usage of two 5G SIM cards simultaneously is made possible by the first Snapdragon platform to allow 5G+5G\/4G Dual-SIM Dual-Active. Additionally, it has the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 communication system, which offers dual Bluetooth connectivity and Wi-Fi 7 with the lowest latency. According to Qualcomm, High Band Simultaneous Multi-Link delivers the best Wi-Fi 7 performance.<\/p>\n

It’s noteworthy that Qualcomm announced a hiring block during its most recent earnings call and continued with its annual Snapdragon Summit in Maui this week, given the amount of tech and telecom companies making layoffs.<\/p>\n

This week, Fierce contacted Qualcomm and asked if it\u2019s planning layoffs anytime soon, and a Qualcomm spokesperson responded with the following:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

“We have already implemented a hiring freeze, and we have planned spending reductions across our mature product areas and SG&A to fund our diversification,\u201d the spokesperson stated. \u201cWe are being very disciplined in managing operating expenses while optimizing our R&D investments to prudently focus on growth within automotive and IoT.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
