MWC 2022: Snapdragon Connect delivers the connected experiences your devices deserve [video]

Wireless connectivity is crucial in our everyday lives and has become increasingly so in the past several years — for our smartphones, laptops, tablets, watches, and even our cars. Whether you’re trying to navigate through heavy traffic, access important documents from the cloud while working or learning from home, or post your latest Wordle result to Twitter, reliable connectivity is critical. If a website or an app is too slow to load, the majority of users will switch to another website or app — and most won’t return at all. Simply put, the quality of a wireless connection directly impacts the quality of the user’s experience.

With that in mind, we’re introducing a new Snapdragon Connect badge that applies to devices using our best possible connectivity technologies. Devices with Snapdragon Connect ship with best-in-class 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies, enabling users to enjoy incredibly fast, reliable connected experiences — including the ability to deliver astounding multi-gigabit speeds.

Whether it’s with a smartphone, laptop, VR/AR headset, or connected car, devices featuring Snapdragon Connect will deliver extremely fast download and upload speeds. Users can download feature-length movies in seconds and expect perfectly smooth streams of ultra-HD videos, while lightning-fast photo sharing and file transfers transform work-from-home and remote education experiences.

In addition to extraordinary download and upload speeds, Snapdragon Connect devices support tremendously responsive connectivity. Utilizing technologies designed to minimize latency, Snapdragon Connect improves the experience for time-sensitive applications such as connected gaming, XR, and edge computing.

Imagine you’re playing a round of Fortnite with a group of friends, or navigating the chilling world of Resident Evil 4 with a VR headset — situations when rate-of-fire or the ability to jump in real time could mean the difference between gaming glory and getting sent back to your previous checkpoint. With Snapdragon Connect devices, gamers can rest assured that latency does not get in the way of gameplay. Manufacturers can also implement dual concurrent Bluetooth audio to ensure the sound experience is well in sync and as immersive as possible.

Snapdragon Connect devices are also built to deliver robust and seamless wireless connections. That means frustration-free internet access in challenging environments — crowded settings like transportation hubs or stadiums, or when users are far from cellular base stations or Wi-Fi access points. This allows users to engage in seamless video conferencing, collaborative work, or remote education from virtually anywhere — essential capabilities for any device in the current moment and going forward.

All that robust connectivity also comes with extreme power efficiency. Snapdragon Compute Platforms are engineered with a unique systems approach, integrating key connectivity components in comprehensive energy-saving designs for longer battery life — multi-day in some cases. With Snapdragon Connect devices, users can spend more time enjoying HD videos, gaming with friends, collaborating with coworkers, and learning along with their classmates and less time recharging their devices.

Snapdragon Connect enables the best-in-class connectivity experiences you deserve. For superior connectivity in your next phone, PC, handheld gaming device, VR/AR glasses, watch or car — make sure it is powered by Snapdragon.
