Qualcomm announces new Snapdragon 8cx 5G PC platform at MWC19

It’s official — 5G is here. Qualcomm ushered in this next generation of connectivity by applying 30 years of mobile leadership. 5G is the culmination of years of investment — intensive R&D, standards development, prototyping, interop testing, and product development — and the excitement is evident at MWC19 Barcelona. Multiple flagship 5G phones and devices are now debuting, 5G networks and infrastructure are rolling out, and as a result of this massive industry effort, 5G-enabled experiences will soon be in our hands. Years in the making, this is truly a moment to celebrate.

From inventing the once-thought-impossible technologies needed for 5G to helping create the 3GPP 5G NR specifications that pave the way to global standardization, our team has worked tirelessly and, despite a challenging year, helped make the 5G launch a reality. We were even able to accelerate the release by a year. We’re thrilled to see it all come to life, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience 5G.

Over the last few days, several 5G devices powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform and Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G Modem were announced. I congratulate our customers on these flagship 5G-enabled devices: the LG V50, Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 5G, and ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G.

At Qualcomm, we invent to transform how the world connects, computes, and communicates. 5G is an evolution of all three, unlocking the next generation of technological progress. We promised 5G in 2019, and we delivered — now we can all tap into it to navigate the world and create new technologies and experiences. And as with every new connectivity standard, the biggest payoffs of 5G will be the applications and breakthroughs we can’t even conceive of yet.

It’s a moment for celebration, not just for our team of engineers and inventors, but also for the entire mobile industry. We’re on the verge of a new leap in technological breakthroughs, as I expect 5G will remove barriers to invention and usher in a new age of rapid innovation: Welcome to 5G, and welcome to the Invention Age.
