Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 series chip maybe supports 5G network early next year

The price rule of the consumer digital industry is when a new technology is first adopted by some digital products, the product price will be very high, but after a period of time, the price of products equipped with this technology will be lower.

Naturally, the same is true for the 5G network concept that the communications industry has been keen to hype in recent years. Mobile phones that initially support 5G technology are more expensive, but by now, the price of mobile phones that support 5G has dropped.

Great question. We expect to see prices ranging from $125 to $250 USD. Lots of phones 😉. In China, 5G price points can already address 60% of the market. With the new Snapdragon 4 in Q121, the transition from 4G to 5G will significantly accelerate globally.

Yesterday, Qualcomm announced that it will launch 5G-enabled Snapdragon 4 series chips early next year. The positioning of the Snapdragon 4 series chips in Qualcomm’s mobile phone chips has always been an entry-level chip that is only higher than the 2 series chips, which means that we can see 5G real cheap phones coming out early next year.

The president of Qualcomm said that Qualcomm will continue to pave the way for large-scale 5G commercialization. This move will allow 5G mobile phones to cover the entry-level smartphone market with 3.5 billion people, while also enabling all smartphone users to use 5G.

Speaking of 5G technology, Qualcomm initially only provided the technology to support 5G on the Snapdragon 855 chip platform, but later allowed 5G technology to slowly move from high-end-to-mid chips such as Snapdragon 765G.
