The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will employ AI to control 5G download rates, latency, coverage, and battery economy. Dual 5G SIM cards and WiFi 7 will be supported (with speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps). Phones that employ the chipset will be able to provide spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, 48kHz lossless music streaming, and latency as low as 48ms.
According to Qualcomm, the first phones equipped with the Gen 2 processor should be available by the end of the year. ASUS Republic of Gamers, Honor, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Sharp, Sony, Xiaomi, and ZTE are among the partners that want to utilise the processor in their smartphones. Qualcomm is expected to provide additional information in the coming days, since the firm is conducting its Snapdragon Summit this week.
