What They Say
Qualcomm is working with Asus to develop gaming smartphones based on its forthcoming Snapdragon 875 APU that may be sold under its own brands.
What We Think
I’m not convinced that this story is accurate, however it’s not impossible. (in the past, in the Display Monitor office, we used to describe the website as Dodgytimes because of the dubious stories it had, but it seems to be better these days!) I doubted, when it was first mooted, that Microsoft would develop its own devices that allowed it to compete directly with its key licencees in the PC market, but it did. I later came to the conclusion that the initiative was partly to push the players in the market to try a bit harder.
Asus has put a lot of effort into developing gaming smartphones, so the company would be a partner for Qualcomm. (BR)
