Nuked Qualcomm is expanding its 5G portfolio to its budget Snapdragon 4-series chipsets in 2021. Will bring the faster networking standard to the cheapest range of smartphones yet.
In 2019, only the company’s flagship Snapdragon 8-series phones offered 5G support. This year has seen that lineup expand significantly.
The addition of 5G to the next wave of 4-series chipsets could be the most significant expansion yet. 4-series devices tend to be among the cheapest Android phones available, often costing $ 200 or less.
Qualcomm has n’t announced many details for the upcoming 5g-compatible 4-series chips. It’ll be integrated into the chipset or require a standalone unit within the phone, or if it’ll support mmwave networks or just sub-6ghz ones.
