Qualcomm Launches Snapdragon Seamless for Device Integration
More specifically:
The Snapdragon Seamless technology is a cross-platform solution that enables the seamless linking of a range of devices running a variety of operating systems, enabling the interchange of peripherals as well as data. This technology was developed by Qualcomm.
Qualcomm is collaborating with a variety of businesses, some of which include Microsoft, Android, Xiaomi, ASUS, Honour, Lenovo, and OPPO, amongst others, to build multi-device experiences that will be enabled by Snapdragon Seamless and will be accessible on device platforms all around the globe as soon as this year. Specifically, Qualcomm is focusing on developing these experiences so that they can be used on smartphones, tablets, and other connected electronic devices. It is planned to make these experiences available to the public.
At the Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. gave a presentation on their new product, Snapdragon Seamless. Snapdragon Seamless is a cross-platform solution that enables Snapdragon devices running Android, Windows, and other operating systems to recognise and communicate with one another so that they may operate as a single, unified system.
According to the findings of the 2023 Connected Consumer research that was carried out by Deloitte, there are now an average of 21 unique digital devices in each household in the United States. On the other hand, it’s fairly uncommon for these gadgets to be unable to connect with one another in an efficient manner, especially if they were made by different companies.
This might reduce the number of accessible alternatives for consumers and lead to a “lock-in” scenario, in which customers feel obligated to purchase items from a single manufacturer in order for their electronic devices to be interoperable with those of other manufacturers. End customers may expect improved and expanded multi-device experiences from device manufacturers and operating system partners thanks to the Snapdragon Seamless platform. Take for instance the following:
There is no longer any clunky transition required when using mouse and keyboards on personal computers, mobile phones, or tablets.
It is possible to execute actions like as drag-and-drop on files and windows across a wide variety of various sorts of devices.
Earbuds offer the capacity to transition between audio sources in an intelligent manner, with the priority of each source being taken into consideration.
XR has the potential to extend the capabilities of mobile devices like smartphones
“Snapdragon Seamless fundamentally eliminates the barriers that previously existed between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), devices, and operating systems.” In the words of Dino Bekis, Vice President and General Manager of Wearables and Mixed Signal Solutions at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., “It is the only cross-device solution that truly puts the user first.”
Snapdragon Seamless is included into all of our mobile platforms, including our most recent premium mobile platform, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as well as our wearable and hearable platforms. The Snapdragon X Elite, which is our most recent premium PC platform, also integrates the Snapdragon Seamless platform.
In the not too distant future, support for XR, Auto, and Internet of Things platforms will be added to Snapdragon Seamless. Through the use of Snapdragon Seamless, Qualcomm Technologies is collaborating with a variety of businesses, including Microsoft, Android, Xiaomi, ASUS, Honour, Lenovo, and OPPO, amongst others, to provide multi-device experiences for international device platforms. This partnership will get off the ground as soon as possible this year.
