It comes with top-notch specifications that include Qualcomm
Snapdragon 888 SoC, 144Hz AMOLED display, and 512GB of onboard storage. The
Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders also comes with a stock Android 11
experience and is preloaded with some of the major technologies developed by
the San Diego-based chipmaker. Additionally, it comes bundled with true
wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds. With official name “Smartphone for Snapdragon
Insiders”
Master & Dynamic Bluetooth earbuds featuring Snapdragon Sound technology QUALCOMM |
On the front is large 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED screen with
2448 x 1080 px resolution and the panel supports fast 144Hz refresh rate. The
screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and supports Always-on display.
There’s a 24MP front-facing camera in the top bezel of the phone. This puts it among the few premium smartphones without a punch hole or a notch these days, alongside the likes of Sony Xperia 1 III and 5 III.
Around back is a triple camera setup, fingerprint scanner, and a self-illuminating Snapdragon logo. There's a main 64MP f/1.8 camera, an ultrawide 12MP f/2.2 unit and a telephoto 8MP snapper with 3X zoom. The camera app will feature Qualcomm AI software experiences like auto zoom and AI object tracking. We expect to see more of Qualcomm’s camera features here, but the actual tuning of the cameras is done by Asus.The fingerprint scanner uses Qualcomm’s 2nd generation 3D
Sonic Sensor, just like the Galaxy S21 series. The difference here, however, is
that the fingerprint scanner is not in-display and Qualcomm explains this due
to its incompatibility with the rigid OLED panel that the Smartphone is
equipped with.
Features of the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders based on the Snapdragon 888 mobile SoC QUALCOMM |
There’s a 4,000 mAh battery, compatible with Qualcomm’s
included Quick Charge 5.0 charger. The phone is capable of a 70% charge in 30
minutes, or a full charge in 50 minutes. The phone weighs in at 210g.
The “Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders” is meant to showcase all of Qualcomm’s software features that integrate with Qualcomm hardware.
The Smartphone will be manufactured, marketed, and sold by
Asus and will be available sometime in August in China, US, Germany, UK, Japan,
South Korea, and eventually Other countries.
Overall, the phone and the accessories offer an attractive
smartphone package. However, at $1,499, it is still a bit pricey. It may be
difficult to convince consumers that already have a 5G phone and/or
high-quality noise-cancelling earbuds.
