Qualcomm's 2022 Snapdragon Tech Summit was a little different from the rest. It saw a continuation of its simplified rebrand, which gave us very clear updates on what to expect for mobile devices in 2023 and beyond.
Of course, the key highlight is Qualcomm's premium-tier system-on-chip (SoC) for Android smartphones, called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The company's packed in a ton of features for phone makers to expand upon, on top of typical performance and battery improvements it has made.
