Qualcomm has placed smart glasses as the top priority in its Snapdragon portfolio, saying personal AI agents need the context of what users see and hear. Senior Vice President Ziad Asghar said agents must understand who asked, where they are and what they are doing, and that glasses and other wearables can provide that data. He compared the market to the early smartphone era and said firms investing now could become future leaders.

Qualcomm says agentic AI devices underpin 6G demand, keeps 2029 commercialisation timeline

Qualcomm says agentic AI devices will underpin demand for 6G by creating connectivity needs different from smartphones, as on-device agents exchange inference between devices and the cloud. Durga Malladi said new device makers, including Alibaba, prioritise always-on cloud connectivity for inference over peak data rates. Qualcomm is preparing 6G around connectivity, wide-area sensing and network high-performance computing. It is keeping a 2029 commercialisation timeline and planning a 6G technology demonstration at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Qualcomm maps AI future: smartphones stay, agents need partners, personalisation starts on the body

Qualcomm is setting agentic AI as the direction for its Snapdragon portfolio, unveiling two flagship mobile platforms and new PC, audio and wearable platforms at Snapdragon Summit 2026 in Maui. The company said smartphones will remain the central device, agents will require partner software that handles memory, judgement and action on-chip, and personalisation will begin with body-worn devices such as watches, earbuds and glasses that gather context.
