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.
