Highlights:
- Snapdragon Seamless is a cross-platform technology that enables the seamless linking of multiple devices across multiple OSes, sharing peripherals and data.
- Microsoft, Android, Xiaomi, ASUS, Honor, Lenovo, and OPPO, among others, are collaborating with Qualcomm to create multi-device experiences enabled by Snapdragon Seamless and set to arrive on global device platforms starting as early as this year.
At Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. introduced Snapdragon Seamless, a cross-platform technology that enables Android, Windows and Snapdragon devices using other operating systems to discover each other and share information to work as one integrated system.
Each US household now has on average 21 different digital devices, according to Deloitte’s 2023 Connected Consumer survey – and frequently, they don’t talk to each other all that well, especially if they’re from different manufacturers. This can reduce consumer choice and create lock-in where consumers feel stuck with one manufacturer so their devices can work together. With Snapdragon Seamless, device manufacturers and OS partners can enhance and extend their multi-device experiences for consumers. For example:
- Mice and keyboards can work seamlessly across PCs, phones and tablets.
- Files and windows can be dragged and dropped across different types of devices.
- Earbuds can switch intelligently based on the priority of an audio source.
- XR can extend the abilities of smartphones.
“Snapdragon Seamless fundamentally breaks down the barriers between OEMs, devices and operating systems. It’s the only cross-device solution to truly put the user first,” said Dino Bekis, VP and GM, wearables and mixed signal solutions, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Snapdragon Seamless is incorporated into our mobile platforms, including our newest premium mobile platform, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3; our newest premium PC platform, Snapdragon X Elite, as well as our wearable and hearable platforms. Snapdragon Seamless will extend to XR, Auto and IoT platforms in the future. Microsoft, Android, Xiaomi, ASUS, Honor, Lenovo, and OPPO, among others, are all collaborating with Qualcomm Technologies to enable multi-device experiences using Snapdragon Seamless for global device platforms – starting as early as this year.
