5G phones could get cheaper as Qualcomm launches new chipset

Chipset manufacturer Qualcomm has revealed a new chipset in the Snapdragon 600 series. This new chip is expected to get featured on mid-range smartphones. Qualcomm is the biggest supplier of processors for smartphones and the modem chips.

One of the biggest distinctions from the previous generation of 600- series chipset is that this new Snapdragon 690 comes with 5G connectivity. In essence, this could mean that 5G connectivity will no longer be just for high-end devices.

Qualcomm in a statement claimed, “This new platform is designed to make 5G user experiences even more broadly available around the world. Snapdragon 690 also supports remarkable on-device AI and vibrant entertainment experiences.”
