Qualcomm has introduced two new cutting-edge sound platforms: the Qualcomm® S3 Gen 3 and Qualcomm® S5 Gen 3 Sound platforms designed to bring rich experiences to mid-tier devices.
In the premium tier, the Qualcomm S5 Gen 3 Sound Platform and its new architecture will help drive developer innovation to deliver elevated sound experiences. It also features 3 times more compute and 50 times more AI power than its predecessor. This will allow the platform to power devices that can respond to how and where a device is being used for seamless and responsive sound experiences at work, at home and on the go.
“Across our portfolio we are committed to elevating the sound experience – from ultra-premium with S7, to premium with S5 and mid-tier for S3. We’re proud to announce our powerful new Qualcomm S5 and S3 Sound platforms which will help to drive a new generation of audio innovation.” said Dino Bekis, vice president and general manager, Wearables and Mixed Signals Solutions, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
The Qualcomm Voice & Music Extension Program will provide OEMs with a significant competitive advantage and a stronger ability to differentiate. Additionally for premium tier devices, the Qualcomm S5 Gen 3 Sound Platform’s new architecture and increased AI capabilities give OEMs a platform to develop intelligent devices that can monitor the user’s environment, in addition to how the device is being used, and respond accordingly.”
