Will run on cheaper phones, thus spake Amon

Qualcomm has launched a 5G-ready version of its Snapdragon 4 chips that will run on cheaper phones, priced at $125-$250, that will hit markets in the first quarter of next year.

Qualcomm’s president, Cristiano Amon, said in an opening video address to the IFA consumer technology fair in Berlin that the move will mean that 5G will finally get into the hands of those who can’t afford a flagship phone.

Amon also announced a 5G platform to support ‘always on, always connected’ laptops that are increasingly in demand among people working at home who need fast, secure connections to log in to company networks or join video conference calls.

Qualcomm, the world’s biggest supplier of mobile phone chips, says 5G networks - which enable ultra-fast downloads and run connected devices and factories - are being built far faster than previously expected.
