Qualcomm introduces Snapdragon 750 5G chipset for mid-range phones

Qualcomm has kept itself busy over the past few months. The chipset maker has announced a slew of chipsets, both the 4G and 5G that will power the next-generation devices.

The company also claims the new chipset will offer a smooth and low-latency gaming experience. The first set of phones powered by the chipset will be launched before the end of 2020. And like always, Xiaomi will be one of the first phone makers to support the new Snapdragon chipset.
