The Snapdragon™ Platform

Imagine Your Surprise™

Combine a 1GHz processor core, our sixth generation DSP and 3G connectivity with ultra-low power consumption to create new mobile devices with the performance to revolutionize the world of mobile computing. The Qualcomm Snapdragon platform empowers a new generation of Pocketable Computing Devices (PCDs) and Mobile Computing Devices (MCDs) that deliver real-time ubiquitous communication, high performance multimedia, location-aware content, full Internet browsing and productivity applications, all with the lowest levels of power consumption for all-day battery life.

Qualcomm is enabling new generations of devices that will take the mobile computing experience beyond anything that has been possible before:

All-in-One Pocketable Devices
The new generation of all-in-one Pocketable Computing Devices (PCDs) combines communication, entertainment and navigation, coupled with full Web browsing on a 4” display. Add a docking station to link to printers, external keyboards, monitors and other peripherals.

Mobile Computing Devices
Mobile Computing Devices (MCDs) offer a revolution in computing and communications in a thin and light form factor with a 7-12” display and full keyboard. MCDs are perfect for viewing movies and maps, or editing spreadsheets and documents while also having access to full Internet browsing and social networking. Dual-mode MCDs allow for notebook and tablet/reading mode to further improve the user experience.
