The first devices will appear on the market in the coming weeks, not months, according to Qualcomm.

The list above excludesSamsungand Motorola (Lenovo).

Does that mean those companies wont be using the next-gen Snapdragon?

It means they didnt want their names on this press release giving away the details on new phones.

Samsung and Motorola will make their own news, thank you very much, Qualcomm.

Will the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 help Android beat Apple?

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 can make an image two times larger, for instance.

Using Stable Diffusion, it can zoom out of an image and create a new periphery for the scene.

The biggest question will be whether the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will finally outperform the in-house chipsets developed byApple.

There were no such callouts when Qualcomm showed off its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile chipset.

They just wont tell you what that phone will look like.

Will air quality become a key feature in smartphones?

No, but Qualcomm is at least showing off the potential of what machine learning can accomplish.

It will be up to developers and equipment makers to decide what features to enable using machine learning.

Sadly, that leaves us without a concrete future to anticipate.

They just dont know.
