Qualcomm Technologies launched three new mobile platforms: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, 662 and 460, which are created to improve end-users' experiences across connectivity, gaming and entertainment. These new mobile platforms enable fast 4G connectivity speeds, deliver key Wi-Fi 6 features and integrated Bluetooth 5.1 with advanced audio via the Qualcomm FastConnect 6-series subsystems, support Dual-Frequency (L1 and L5) GNSS to improve location positioning accuracy and robustness, and are the first system-on-chip products to support Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC), the company said in a press release.
Designed to deliver new and improved AI user experiences across photography, voice assistants, and virtually always-on scenarios for increased contextual awareness, these new platforms also feature the Qualcomm AI Engine and Qualcomm Sensing Hub.
For the first time supported on mobile, the Qualcomm Location Suite also supports up to seven satellite constellations concurrently, including the use of all of NavIC’s operating satellites for more accurate location performance, faster time-to-first-fix position acquisition, and improved robustness of location-based services.
Phones based on the Snapdragon 720G, which incorporates some of Qualcomm's Elite Gaming features and a high-end imaging processor, are expected to be commercially available in Q1 2020. Devices based on the Snapdragon 662 and 460 for more mid-range phones are expected to be commercially available by the end of 2020.
