Redefining what’s possible in audio

Our mobile and compute platforms integrate premium audio, connectivity, and powerful AI capabilities into a single system-on-a-chip. Get onboard for high-performance, low-power device development and faster time to market across every tier.

Integrated, celebrated audio excellence

Snapdragon mobile and compute platforms deliver premium audio experiences in one complete package.

Game-changing AI-powered voice clarity

Communication is a two-way street. Our latest AI features suppress interference and manage echoes, so everyone on the line is heard loud and clear.

Studio-quality audio capture and playback

Cater directly to content creators and prosumers, whether they work solo or with full teams. Our platforms capture HDR and 3D audio directly on device.

Smarter, always-on voice interaction

From user voice verification to speech recognition, our integrated processors drive advanced sensing and audio features—without sacrificing battery life.

Epic upgrades for your consumers’ favorite devices

Take advantage of integrated smart audio features that delight smartphone, laptop, 2-in-1, and desktop power users (and everybody else, too).

Ultralow-power AI architecture for audio, sensing, and camera

Qualcomm® Sensing Hub offers OEMs the most powerful ultra-low power AI architecture in the industry. And our Low-Power Audio Subsystem (LPASS) powers responsive, always-on tech that runs all day (and then some)—handling everything from coding/decoding to voice verification and machine learning.

Clear calls for consumers at home, at work, in any environment

Hardworking consumers need devices that can keep up with their busy schedules, wherever life takes them. Our AI-based echo cancellation and noise suppression isolate noisy environments from voice signals for the clearest possible calls—whether they’re out at sea or in a busy café.

Immersive sound that puts consumers in the moment

From sold-out concerts environments to ambient home studios, our HDR Audio Capture + 3D Audio Record capture sound exactly as the human ear hears it. And that makes Qualcomm®-powered devices must-have items for podcasters, video producers, vloggers, streamers, and content creators of every sort.

Pro-style directional recording and noise control

Audio Zoom/Focus and Wind Noise Reduction help devices focus on a single sound source and suppress unwanted noise. That means your consumers nail every take, every time, even when there’s a sudden gust of wind or an unexpected siren from a passing vehicle.

Driving audio innovation with AI

AI is the new UI. And our edge intelligence powers personalized, adaptive sound that responds to environments and user preferences in real time. Enhanced streaming performance and natural-language access to AI agents and LLMs complete standout consumer audio experiences.
