Qualcomm leans into cameras, gaming with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform
Qualcomm
Inc on Tuesday released its new top-tier
smartphone chip aimed at premium-priced Android phones with features like
sharper photos and graphics than handsets using chips from rivals.
The San Diego, California-based company is
the biggest supplier of the chips at the heart of many Android phones,
competing against rivals such as Taiwan's MediaTek Inc and Samsung Electronics
Co Ltd, which uses Qualcomm chips in some of its phones but self-supplies chips
for some models.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip released
Tuesday will have similar computing cores to rivals like MediaTek, which this
month announced a chip aimed at premium phones. But almost every other part of
the chip are custom designed by Qualcomm, including those playing a role in the
visual quality of photos and graphics-intensive apps like games.
Alex Katouzian, senior vice president and

mobile, compute and infrastructure for
Qualcomm, said the company has been crafting software that will let handset
makers tap deeper into those parts of the chip. Read
