Specs, a Snap subsidiary, and Qualcomm Technologies have announced a multi-year strategic agreement to power future generations of Specs with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon system-on-a-chip (SoC) platforms.
The partnership will see Snapdragon XR platforms serve as the core computing architecture for upcoming Specs devices, enabling on-device AI, high-performance processing and energy-efficient operations.
The move builds on the companies’ existing collaboration, with Qualcomm’s chipsets having powered earlier generations of Snap’s wearable devices, and signals a deeper alignment on hardware and platform development for future products.
“We believe the future of computing will be more human and grounded in the real world,” said Evan Spiegel, co-founder and CEO, Snap Inc. “Our work with Qualcomm provides a strong foundation for the future of Specs, bringing developers and consumers advanced technology and performance that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.”
“The next era of computing will be defined by devices that understand what you see, hear and say as well as context, and respond instantly to the world around you,” said Cristiano Amon, President and Chief Executive Officer, Qualcomm Incorporated. “Our work on future generations of Specs will enable power-efficient interactive AR devices that deliver agentic experiences that feel natural, intuitive and integrate seamlessly into daily life.”
