Apple and Samsung are known for their ecosystems. Through this ecosystem, all devices can be controlled locally, making it easier for owners to do the work they want. This morning Qualcomm announced Snapdragon Seemless which enables smartphones, laptops, audio accessories, smartwatches, headsets and vehicles equipped with Snapdragon chips to communicate better with each other.
With Snapdragon Seemless a set of mouse and keyboard can control one device even using different operating systems Android or Windows as long as it is equipped with a Snapdragon chip. Audio accessories are intelligently tethered to devices that need them. Cross-operating system file transfer is also possible with Snapdragon Seemless.
In addition, information on the smartphone can also be shared directly on the XR glass. This feature is supported on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips, Snapdragon X Elite and their audio and wearable platforms.
Qualcomm says Microsoft, Google, Xiaomi, Honor, Lenovo, and OPPO are among the first companies to support Snapdragon Seemless. The pad will initially support smartphones, PCs and wearables this year before expanding to XR headsets, automotive and internet of things (IoT) devices.
