Qualcomm has announced its first self-branded handset called „Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders“. The device is designed by Asus, costs $1,499, and will be available in August 2021.
Google hardware enthusiasts may remember that prior to releasing its Pixel handsets, it used to collaborate with OEMs like LG and Huawei to release smartphones under the Nexus brand, designed to offer users a vanilla Android experience cultivated by Google. While Qualcomm is not quite in the same boat, it has announced its first self-branded smartphone, designed by Asus.
