- Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon Seamless, a technology that aims to better connect devices.
- Snapdragon Seamless enables better inter-device communication between different OEMs and OSs.
- Qualcomm expects the first experiences this year.
At its annual Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm announced more than just a new flagship mobile chip. As part of Qualcomm’s push to create experiences across device categories, the company is announcing Snapdragon Seamless, a new way to bring all your devices together.
The premise of Snapdragon Seamless is simple: it allows devices from different operating systems to communicate and interact with each other in a seamless way, as if they were always meant to be. This includes Android smartphones, Windows PCs, and other Snapdragon devices such as headphones, smartwatches, and smart glasses.
This should enable seamless multi-device experiences that allow keyboards to work across a variety of devices or wireless headphones to intelligently switch between connected devices. Files can also be dragged and dropped from the smartphone to the PC.
An example is that your phone might record you doing a workout to help you move, while your smartwatch collects your workout data like heart rate, steps, etc. , while all this information is displayed on your smart glasses. It can track your workouts in real time without having to constantly check your wrist or phone.
When you’re in an ecosystem, cross-device communication isn’t much of a problem, especially for Apple or even Samsung Galaxy users. But it can be a problem when you import devices from different OEMs, even if they all run Android. The idea is to remove brand lock to give consumers more choice by improving the way these devices talk to each other.
“Snapdragon Seamless fundamentally breaks down the barriers between OEMs, devices and operating systems,” said Dino Bekis, vice president and GM of wearables and mixed signal solutions at Qualcomm. “It’s the only cross-device solution that truly puts the user first.”
The technology will be integrated into Qualcomm’s various Snapdragon platforms for phones, wearables, PCs, cars, and more. The company says it expects various OEMs, as well as Microsoft and the Android ecosystem, to begin active experiences early this year.
