No phones have been announced with the Snapdragon 730 or 730G.
While Qualcomm has integrated several gaming-specific technologies into its Snapdragon mobile processors, the company recently announced something a little different: a version of its Snapdragon 730 optimized for gaming, dubbed the Snapdragon 730G.
Though mobile gaming may be an idle pastime with American consumers, it’s a way of life overseas. Over 586 million mobile gamers are in China alone—twice the population of the United States, according to Qualcomm’s Hiren Bhinde at Qualcomm’s technology summit (go.pcworld.com/qs85) last December. It isn’t clear which phones and mobile devices Qualcomm has in mind for the Snapdragon 730G, but recent gaming phones from Asus ROG (go.pcworld.com/ arev) and Razer (go.pcworld.com/rzp2) indicate that Qualcomm was designing for what they hope will be a trend.
