5G has to be the buzzword of 2019. It is basically everywhere. With telecom operators and phone makers trying to push the envelope on 5G connectivity, Qualcomm is now looking to democratize 5G support. The chipmaker took center stage at IFA 2019 to announce that it will debut mid-range chipsets with 5G support in the Snapdragon 600- and 700-series next year.
Qualcomm hasn’t doled any information on both of its future Snapdragon 600 and 700-series chipsets, but says that its OEM partners have been sampling the mobile platform since Q2 2019. Twelve leading global OEMs and brands including OPPO, Realme, Redmi, Vivo, Motorola, HMD Global, and LG Electronics will be some of their first few partners to integrate the “integrated Snapdragon 7 Series 5G Mobile Platform” in their smartphones coming next year.
