Qualcomm is allegedly developing its own branded smartphones, which will be produced in partnership with Asus, according to a report by Digitimes.
These won’t just be run-of-the-mill phones, either – they’ll be premium gaming phones, per industry sources, and could come out as soon as the end of 2020.
Asus will be responsible for designing and developing the hardware, according to Android Authority – which shouldn’t be a surprise given the company’s released several high-end gaming phones, culminating in the Asus ROG 3. Qualcomm, on the other hand, will create the ‘industry design’ and software running on top of its Snapdragon 875 platform.
