Qualcomm teams up with Asus to launch Snapdragon 875 powered gaming smartphones

Qualcomm has teamed up with Asus to make gaming smartphones powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 875 processor, according to the latest report coming out from Taiwan. Qualcomm has already confirmed the launch of the next-generation Snapdragon 875 SoC on December 1 and if the new information stands to be correct, we could see a Qualcomm branded gaming smartphone tag alongside the 5nm chip.

According to a report by DigiTimes that cites “industry sources”, Qualcomm and Asus are collaborating on developing a gaming smartphone and could launch it by the end of 2020. While there’s no word on the specifications or the name of the gaming phone just yet, Asus is reportedly taking care of the hardware side of things including the design while Qualcomm is responsible for optimising the Snapdragon 875 chip for its gaming phone.

Asus already manufactures ROG gaming smartphones and given its experience with the nitty-gritty that come along with a gaming phone, it is a natural choice for Qualcomm to partner with the Taiwanese giant. Asus is in its third year of making ROG branded gaming smartphones that started with the ROG Phone in 2018. The ROG phone series is known for its beefed-up internals and gaming elements including support for RGB lighting, high refresh rate display, thermal solutions, large capacity battery and tons of complimenting accessories that aim to enhance the mobile gaming experience. 

Qualcomm collaborating with Asus: what does it mean?

Qualcomm’s reported partnership with Asus is also expected to see both companies purchasing phone components together for their respective gaming smartphones, according to the report. This works in Asus’ favour as it will potentially be able to reduce the production costs that come along with manufacturing gaming phones using complex techniques and components. 

Currently, Asus faces competition in the gaming phone segment from companies like Razer, Black Shark, Nubia, Lenovo and more. Its deal with Qualcomm may help the company attract more eyeballs to its ROG Phone series in the coming years. 

It is also likely that Qualcomm’s gaming smartphone is based on the ROG phone series as the design is apparently being handled by Asus. There’s no official word on what we can expect from the Qualcomm gaming phone but considering the Snapdragon 875 launches on December 1, we’ll surely know more about this mysterious phone in the heads up to the launch.

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 11 update to be available next week

Call of Duty: Mobile will be getting its Season 11 update next week. Fans of the game are eagerly awaiting the update as it would be the anniversary update, which should include a bunch of new content. However, the developers are quite tight-lipped as to what players can expect. In fact, they did not even release a test server as they wanted everything to be a surprise.  

S11 #CODMAnniversary dropping next week.⁣ ⁣ Stay tuned to see what new and exciting things await pic.twitter.com/7CRRBHFDC4

In recent times, each seasonal update for the Call of Duty: Mobile has come with a new map. However, the developers have only teased a Halloween-themed makeover for the Stand Off map, which was something the developers did last year as the first update for the game. So there should be even more in store when it comes to the addition of new maps. 

The team at Call of Duty: Mobile had also confirmed that they were working on adding a night mode to existing maps in the game. However, it is not yet known if that will be included in the Season 11 update, or will be added in a future update. There have also been calls for the developers to reintroduce a Zombie Mode to the game and what better time to do so than in October when Halloween is celebrated.

While the developers have not said which weapons will be added to the game, they did mention that multiple weapons were being added to various categories. So all players should have something to look forward to, regardless of their weapon preferences. The developers have also hinted at an inclusion of an Advanced UAV scorestreak that would not only show the player’s location, but also the direction they are facing. You can learn more about what is expected in the new update here.

Jetpack paramedic is essentially a real-life Iron-Man

As medical technology gets better day by day, humans are still looking at faster ways to get to a medical emergency. It’s definitely easier in urban areas where roadways are your fastest way of navigation, but what if there was a medical emergency and you were stuck in the middle of a long trek or hike? Well, that’s where this new Jet Pack comes into play. An organisation in England has come up with a rather nifty way to get to difficult areas by using an actual Jet Pack! In a report on MedGadget, we learned that England’s Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) have been testing this new technology with paramedics in areas where even helicopters find it hard to land. 

GNAAS partnered up with Gravity Industries to build a working prototype that they’ve been testing out on mountainous and rocky terrain. For us in India, this could mean the difference between life and death for individuals who are in desperate need of medical services in the mountains or even remote, hard-to-access areas. 

In the video embedded below, you can see how fast it takes for a paramedic in a jetpack to traverse the hostile terrain. In what would have taken a normal human at least 25 minutes to traverse, the paramedic with a jetpack does it in less than two minutes. He just glides across the land using the jetpack. It almost seems like a really good CGI effect. Who knows if this technology is economical and feasible but as far as a medical concept goes, it really looks like a winner. And think about the practical applications of this kind of tech. It truly is limitless.
