With powerful 1GHz-plus processors, Snapdragon-powered devices are bringing a new type of user experience to market, redefining mobility for consumers around the world. Mobile devices based on the Snapdragon family of chipsets deliver real-time ubiquitous communication, high-performance multimedia, location-aware content, Internet browsing and productivity applications, all with the lowest levels of power consumption for all-day battery life and always-on connectivity.

Snapdragon technology is the next step in the evolution of mobility that Qualcomm brings to market.

Smartbooks*: The New Breed of Mobility and Ability

Snapdragon chipsets power smartbooks, a new breed of mobile devices that merge the intuitive, instant-on and always-connected user experience of smartphones with the versatility and power of a laptop in a smaller and thinner design than the traditional or mini-notebook. Smartbooks offer high-quality multimedia performance with 3D graphics, HD video, built-in GPS and more. Smartbooks let you enjoy movies, stream videos, play games, surf the web and social networking sites, connect and locate friends and places and more-wherever you are. A sizable high-resolution display and all the high-performance advantages of Snapdragon chipsets round out an incomparable mobile experience in a sleek and slim form factor. A wide variety of Snapdragon-based smartbooks are already in design today.

Smartphones: Now Smarter and More Powerful

Powered by Snapdragon chipsets, smartphones now coming to market are lighter and more powerful than ever. With larger, high-resolution display screens and faster processing, smartphones give you reliable voice, data, Internet, and GPS navigation-but now in an even thinner form factor that still fits in your pocket. With Snapdragon power in your Smartphone, you can quickly access all your favorite applications and take advantage of 3G mobile broadband connectivity and an extended battery life.
