There’s something special about seeing creativity come to life in real time - and back in March our Snapdragon Insiders did exactly that. Bringing together a community driven by passion, curiosity, and a love for mobile photography, we hosted an exclusive meet-up in Manchester, built around this month’s #ShotOnSnapdragon theme: #RepYourRed. From the streets of the city to Old Trafford, every moment became an opportunity to capture something bold, expressive, and unmistakably Snapdragon.
Before we share the final shots, let’s take a moment to appreciate the process, as that’s where the magic really happens. The initial briefing was led by content creator Josh (@sansonilens), who inspired our Snapdragon Insiders with tips and tricks to help make the most of the tech.

Our Snapdragon Insiders then went out on a photography walk, exploring, experimenting, and pushing their creativity, capturing content from every angle. Whether it was spotting unexpected flashes of red in the street or framing the perfect composition, the energy was all about discovery, collaboration, and getting the shot. It wasn’t just about colour; it was about perspective. From subtle details to bold statements, the walk turned everyday surroundings into a canvas for creativity, proving that extraordinary moments are always within reach when you know where to look.

The results spoke for themselves. Our Insiders captured an incredible range of content: dynamic, expressive, and full of personality. Shot on devices powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, including Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and OnePlus 15, the images showcased what premium performance really enables: fast capture, rich detail, and the freedom to create without limits.

We wrapped the experience at Old Trafford to watch Man Utd Women, bringing a whole new energy to the experience. While the result didn’t go United’s way, the atmosphere more than made up for it. From the intensity on the pitch to the vibrancy in the stands, our Snapdragon Insiders captured some incredible shots, including this panoramic of the stadium shot on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra…

Days like this are what being a Snapdragon Insider is all about - exclusive access, shared passions, and the chance to create something extraordinary together. It’s a community built on creativity and powered by possibility.
