Snap unit to use Qualcomm chips for AI smart glasses

Specs, Snap's dedicated smart glasses division, will integrate Qualcomm chips into its next generation of devices under a new multi-year agreement. This partnership deepens the existing relationship between the two companies, as Qualcomm's technology has powered earlier versions of Snap's Spectacles. The move is particularly significant as Snap aims to compete more effectively in the burgeoning market for AI-enhanced wearables. Their efforts are directly aimed at challenging competitors like Meta, whose AI-powered smart glasses have achieved notable market success, highlighting the growing importance of advanced chip technology in this sector.
