At the Snapdragon Summit 2025 in Hawaii, Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon declared that AI will emerge as the next-generation “user interface,” with Agentic AI poised to become the dominant form of application. Accordingly, Qualcomm’s future computing platforms will place an even stronger emphasis on agent-driven AI capabilities. At the same event, the company also announced that its commercial-ready 6G mobile network solutions will debut in 2028, providing the ultra-fast transmission speeds and higher data throughput required to sustain the next wave of AI-driven experiences.
Amon highlighted that this year marks the 10th Snapdragon Summit. Except for its inaugural edition in New York, the event has consistently been held on Maui, where Qualcomm has unveiled transformative innovations that have redefined computing—spanning the transition from 4G to 5G and ushering in entirely new forms of interaction.
For instance, the company introduced perceptual computing in 2022, followed by AI-driven interaction in 2024. This year, Qualcomm envisions AI itself becoming the central medium of human–device engagement, enabling more natural and intuitive interactions. Devices, powered by AI, will anticipate user needs, execute delegated tasks autonomously, and provide proactive assistance.
According to Qualcomm’s vision, AI computation will seamlessly span across devices—whether smartwatches, AR glasses, or smartphones—delivering synchronized intelligence that works collaboratively across platforms. In this model, Agentic AI will act on behalf of users, performing tasks and preemptively identifying matters requiring attention.
To realize such experiences, Amon emphasized the dual necessity of robust on-device AI capabilities and high-performance wireless connectivity—areas where Qualcomm holds strong technical advantages. He further revealed that Qualcomm’s 6G commercial-ready products will arrive in 2028, not only bridging the expansion of agent-driven AI but also embedding AI-powered network intelligence to optimize bandwidth allocation in real time.
While industry forecasts place widespread 6G adoption closer to 2030, Qualcomm’s decision to pre-announce 2028-ready commercial solutions mirrors the trajectory of 5G, which launched in 2018. From a technological standpoint, vendors must be prepared well in advance to secure early market influence and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
Qualcomm is not alone. Samsung had already indicated in July 2020 its ambition to commercialize 6G technology by 2028, while other industry players—including Huawei, NEC, and Nokia—are expected to advance similar initiatives.
In addition to its 6G roadmap, Qualcomm used the summit to underscore its longstanding partnership with Google. Despite Google’s pivot toward in-house silicon for its Pixel line, collaboration between the two companies remains significant. Rick Osterloh, Google’s Senior Vice President of Devices and Services, highlighted ongoing joint efforts: these include Project Moohan, a mixed-reality headset developed with Samsung; Project Aura, AR glasses built with XREAL on Android XR; and broader collaborations across the Android Auro platform. Osterloh also disclosed that Google’s forthcoming PC-class computing devices will adopt Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platforms—part of a broader strategy to unify Android and Chrome OS into a cohesive, cross-device ecosystem.
