Breakthrough Performance for Premium User Experiences

Snapdragon W5+ incorporates significant performance enhancements in the quad core SOC, and the next gen co-processor. Together with dual GPUs, a new ML core, and upgraded memory, camera, and audio/video subsystems - users will experience immersive interactive experiences, ultra-low power ambient experiences, and always sensing health-and-fitness experiences.

High Integration for Sleek, Innovative Designs

High integration and packaging innovation across the SOC and Co-Processor drives significant reductions in SOC (30% smaller), chipset (35% smaller) and core PCB (40% smaller) areas. This enables smaller/thinner designs while making it possible to do a single SKU covering global operators.
