Ultra-smooth gaming

Experience seamless, ultra-smooth gaming enabled by adaptive and predictive real-time system tuning for sustained performance over longer periods of time. Unlock your favorite games with Snapdragon, designed to enable desktop-level frame rates on mobile devices.

High-speed gaming

We’ve teamed up with top game studios to break barriers, pushing fan-favorite mobile games to lightning speeds of up to 144 fps with flawless quality and super-smooth performance.

Game smoother

Reduce the jank, or stutter, for less glitch and more wins. Our Snapdragon mobile platforms bring desktop-level frame rates to mobile for the first time, greatly reducing jank for the smoothest gameplay possible.

Highest HDR quality

Kick your favorite HDR games into high gear with double the speed of complex graphic rendering. Qualcomm® Adreno™ HDR Fast Blend helps HDR games run up to 2x faster by accelerating blending of multiple layers.

True 10-bit HDR Game Rendering & Display

True HDR lets you game in full color with 10-bit color depth and 2020 color gamut. The end result: the ability to dart through smoky battlefields, hide in lush forests, and explore thronged fortresses in over a billion shades of color that are 10x brighter than platforms without True HDR.

Game Color Plus 2.0

Qualcomm® Game Color Plus has the power to turn any standard game into a vibrant visual masterpiece by boosting color, saturation, sharpness and detail to mimic true 10-bit HDR as closely as possible.
