The world’s first solution for mobile and the next level of network speed for on-the-go gamers on compatible devices.

When mobile games produce jank, or stutter, it takes the player out of the action. We help solve for this distraction by reducing it up to 90%.***

The best games in the business need elite performance. Thanks to a collaboration between game-makers and our in-house game studio, some of the top-rated games are optimized for Snapdragon premium-tier platforms. 

Helps keep gamers on the same level playing field by detecting and circumventing game hacks.

This sophisticated technology ensures a smooth, fluid visual experience. It auto adjusts the display refresh rate to match the rate of the GPU so there’s virtually no screen tearing or stuttering, for a decrease in game load times up to 10% when launching.

For larger-than-life gaming experiences, players can use a mobile device as their controller and a TV as the screen. With untethered screen casting, multiple competitors can wirelessly hook in, seeing games in all their glory with the incredible color and contrast of a 4K TV. 

When delving deep into XR (VR/AR) games, this elite gaming feature ensures mobile devices are ready to go—optimizing settings specifically for XR gaming environments.

Optimizes network settings and Wi-Fi configurations to support efficient online gaming and provide smooth, fast gameplay. 

Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive Audio delivers robust, wireless surround sound. It auto-adjusts for optimum audio quality and synchronizes effortlessly with the situation on-screen.

Qualcomm Aqstic™ Audio delivers crystal-clear, hi-fi sound on a mobile device, perfect for thrilling, high-action mobile gaming. 3D positional audio ensures full immersion and realistic representation while Smart Speaker Amp produces sound effects that are loud and clear.

Game Q-sync is designed to allow the display frame rate to match the frame rate produced by the game engine. The game engine no longer needs to be locked to 60Hz and can run faster or slower depending on the render workload. It also allows the display to dynamically match the render rate for a better gaming experience.
