Current Snapdragon Sound partners include Audio-Technica, Bose, Edifier, Fiio, Jabra, LG, Master & Dynamic, Shure, and other brands — so you can imagine that many of them will be integrating the S7-series silicon into their future audio gadgets.
Like the company’s latest Snapdragon hardware for phones, Qualcomm is highlighting significant increases in compute power, memory, AI capabilities, and more.
As Qualcomm’s Dino Bekis, vice president and general manager of wearables and mixed signal solutions, explained to me, you could be riding a bike and listening to an audiobook.
Bekis told me that you’ll be able to walk away from your phone and have your earbuds seamlessly hand off from that direct Bluetooth connection over to Wi-Fi so that your media keeps playing — even across different access points.
“It will work on the 2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz bands, so you’ll be able to get a great connection even when there is the potential of congestion.” And it will allow lossless audio to keep going beyond the distances from your phone where the quality would normally be dialed back down to lower bitrates.
Now, this is Qualcomm we’re talking about, so it should come as no surprise that, to do all of these things, you’ll need a phone powered by the company’s also-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 when that platform starts shipping in devices next year.
