The year has only just begun, but that hasn’t slowed Qualcomm down any. The company today unveils its budget 5G-capable SoC, dubbed Snapdragon 480 5G. Qualcomm says that this release brings forth “series-defying” performance, and we admit it is nice to see 5G hitting lower-end devices, even if current cellular availability isn’t ideal. If you have a 5G device, you’ll be ready for when your area receives support – which will hopefully be sooner than later. The first 5G-supported Snapdragon Qualcomm released was with the 8-series in 2018. It took only a year for 5G to trickle down to the 7-series, and just last summer, it fell even further to slide into the 6-series. With the 4-series now being augmented with 5G, Qualcomm has really got the bases covered, and gives vendors far more consumers to target with 5G than before.
