This year, we're celebrating you—the passionate, curious, and unstoppable community who have brought nothing but energy and camaraderie for five incredible years. We started as a small group of tech enthusiasts; now we're a global community with over 20 million members.¹ ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/20M?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha) [See on instagram](https://www.instagram.com/snapdragonofficial/) Join us as we look back at the highlights from the past year in our sizzle reel, and relive the unforgettable moments you helped create. The celebration doesn't stop there! We just dropped a brand‑new set of Snapdragon Insider Giphy stickers so you can rep your Snapdragon Insiders pride across social media. Keep an eye out: You might spot the names of familiar Snapdragon Insiders on some of the stickers.

At events like the [Augmented World Expo](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/news/what-i-learned-at-awe-2025--kaleahvr-s-take-on-xr-s-future) in California and [COMPUTEX](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/news/computex-2025--celebrating-the-momentum-of-snapdragon-x-series) in Taipei, Snapdragon Insiders showed up to give the whole community a front-row seat to the action. Those back home followed along, sharing excitement in every product reveal and reaction. ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/Article-5thbday01-688x410?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha&wid=700) #### Manchester United fandom, powered by Snapdragon Over in the UK, we combined fandom with cutting-edge Snapdragon® technology for some amazing content with [Manchester United](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/manchester-united). Chris Priestley went behind the scenes at Old Trafford, capturing the magic with his [Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/device-finder/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra) and [Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/laptops-and-tablets/laptop-device-finder/lenovo-yoga-slim-7x), both powered by Snapdragon. We also saw [MattyBeats](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/news/how-devices-powered-by-snapdragon-captured-and-mixed-the-sounds-) step into the stadium with devices powered by Snapdragon to capture the raw sounds, hype, and electric energy of match day. The result? A totally one‑of‑a‑kind anthem. #### Your epic shots became epic merch This year's #ShotonSnapdragon photos were next‑level. So good, in fact, we just had to turn some of them into custom T-shirts. But that's not all. To celebrate our community all year long, we also dropped a 2026 #ShotOnSnapdragon calendar featuring incredible photos taken by Snapdragon Insiders around the world. > Wow, what a moment to cherish 😍🔥 > > From the very beginning, [@Snapdragon](https://twitter.com/Snapdragon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) has been close to my heart, and today I feel truly honored. > > Receiving a beautifully framed print of my photo 🖼️ and a T-shirt 👕 with the same shot feels like a dream come true. > > This recognition is proof… [pic.twitter.com/DrQGBVCtkm](https://t.co/DrQGBVCtkm) > — S M A Sithick (@smasithick) [August 18, 2025](https://twitter.com/smasithick/status/1957504471531155729?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) #### Digital meetups brought our community closer than ever 2025 marked our first full year of digital meetups—and you made them unforgettable. We saw you crush the real-time gameplay during our Game On meetups and impress with tech trivia in Quiz Showdown. You also showed off your awesome pics during the #ShotOnSnapdragon meetups. Seriously, Snapdragon Insiders showed up for each other, turning every moment into something special. Stay tuned—there's even more to come in 2026! ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/Article-5thbday02b-688x410?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha&wid=700) #### Snapdragon Insiders put our tech to the test—and we were blown away The last year has been packed with so many incredible moments. In [Fridge Swap](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/news/snapdragon-x-enters-the-kitchen-in-fridge-swap), three Snapdragon Insiders took on the ultimate kitchen curveball—swapping fridges and recreating dishes they'd never made before, relying only on help from the AI assistant on the [ASUS Zenbook A14](https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-home/zenbook/asus-zenbook-a14-ux3407/) powered by the [Snapdragon X processor](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/laptops-and-tablets/snapdragon-x). And in Season 2 of "[Behind the Silicon](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjVC3ZSB1kOne2YCycOBCB3i6GDLutDeu)," Snapdragon Insiders from around the world explored how PCs powered by Snapdragon can unlock game-changing opportunities. From inspiring [Snapdragon Insiders spotlights](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/news/snapdragon-insiders-spotlight--meet-airi-from-japan) to behind‑the‑scenes deep dives during our [Snapdragon X Series Reddit AMA](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/news/snapdragon-x-series--your-top-questions--answered), you brought creativity, curiosity, and a perspective that only this community can deliver—proving once again that Snapdragon tech starts the story, but it's you all who make it memorable. #### Big launches, moments, and more: Snapdragon Summit 2025 Snapdragon Summit 2025 was one of our most impactful events yet. Over three unforgettable days, Snapdragon Insiders had front‑row seats to the launch of the [Snapdragon X2 Elite](https://www.qualcomm.com/laptops/products/snapdragon-x2-elite) processor and [Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform](https://www.qualcomm.com/smartphones/products/8-series/snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5), got hands-on with our latest innovations, and connected directly with product experts. We even had a few Snapdragon Insiders join Qualcomm CMO Don McGuire and CEO & President Cristiano Amon onstage during their keynotes!
