Snapdragon Sound, developed by Qualcomm, delivers high-quality audio for gaming, streaming, and voice/video calls, ensuring HD audio quality and low latency. Key features include Dynamic Spatial Audio for an immersive experience, improved latency for gaming, lossless audio for detailed sound, and a robust connection with minimal drop-outs
Snapdragon sound plays a vital role in the multi-media operation and portrays the significance of effects similar to that of Dynamic Spatial Audio(Creates an immersive experience by maintaining sound orientation relative to the device), even when you move your head. Improved Latency: Essential for lag-free gaming, with latency reduced to 48ms, significantly lower than the typical 300ms of standard Bluetooth headphones. Lossless Audio: Supports 16-bit 48Hz lossless audio on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform, with the S7 Pro platform offering up to 96Hz using Wi-Fi for an even richer experience. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Fourth-generation Adaptive ANC provides responsive noise cancellation that adapts to different environments and includes a transparency mode. XPAN Technology: Extends the range of audio devices beyond Bluetooth, maintaining high-quality audio even when the source device is in another room.
To utilize Snapdragon Sound, devices need compatible Qualcomm hardware. Phones must use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform, laptops must use the Snapdragon X Elite platform, and headphones/earbuds need Snapdragon S7 or S7 Pro platforms. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Sound is available across various platforms since its announcement in 2021 on the Snapdragon 888 chipset. It has since been incorporated into Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 2, and 3 platforms and the Snapdragon X Elite PC platform—Qualcomm partners with major audio brands like Bose, Sennheiser, Anker, Jabra, and Nura. Over 120 products currently support Snapdragon Sound, though not all include the latest features, which require the newest platforms and compatible devices. Snapdragon Sound promises an optimized, robust connection for minimal drop-outs, delivering a premium audio experience for various applications and environments.
