"While chipsets may not be the most exciting component of a phone, they are responsible for powering a lot of the activities you enjoy every day, including gaming, photography, audio, internet connectivity, and, of course, AI features. That's why Qualcomm's announcement of its new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset gives us a good idea of what's next to come for the future of Android phones."
"AI agents have become the craze in the past year. They take AI assistance one step forward, actually performing tasks on your behalf. However, the efficiency of how well an AI agent works depends on how much information it already knows about you, as it is in that way that it knows what actions to suggest to maximize its helpfulness. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset helps with that."
"The Qualcomm Hexagon NPU got some upgrades, including even more AI accelerators, enabling it to run 37% faster speeds and 16% better performance per watt. When this is combined with the Qualcomm Sensing Hub, which features on-device AI learning features such as a personal knowledge graph and Qualcomm Personal Scribe, it powers new, personalized, agentic experiences. Another important factor is that the AI-learning features run on-device, making sure your information stays secure by bypassing the cloud."
