Qualcomm-branded gaming smartphones may launch soon

Chipmaker Qualcomm may be gearing up to launch its own gaming smartphones as early as in December 2020. As per a report by DigiTimes, Qualcomm is partnering with Asus to launch a new series of gaming smartphones with its own branding. Qualcomm is hosting its Snapdragon Tech Summit in December where it is expected to launch its flagship Snapdragon 875 processor along with several chipsets for affordable flagship handsets.

Asus has been a partner of Qualcomm for its ROG series of gaming phones and the latest ROG Phone 3 runs Snapdragon 865+ processor. It is expected that Asus would be offered the next ROG flagship phone with the upcoming 875 processor and if at all Qualcomm launches its own gaming smartphones, there would be no better partner than Asus.
