Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

[Doug S]

Is Bluetooth 7 even a thing? I don’t see any literature on it. Latest revision is 6.2. Though by then it is likely to come out.
WiFi 8 is good for future proofing, but I doubt many people even have a WiFi 7 router.

The only thing I can find it is that is "designed alongside Wifi 8" so maybe they merged the wifi and BT groups and co-developed the two standards?

The WiFi 8 chip is pretty interesting... First mobile design using 4x4 radios which should increase throughput noticeably compared to commonplace 2x2 radios.

Who is running into too low of wifi speeds on their phone and needs more? If wifi throughput is low it isn't because it needs more antennas it is because it needs a better router to connect to or you need to be closer to the router / have fewer walls in the way.
