Mobile devices have always relied on SIM cards to access cellular networks. However, thanks to technological advancements, traditional SIM cards are becoming obsolete.
In 2016, eSIM technology was introduced, which was quickly adopted by leading manufacturers like Apple and Samsung. Now, Qualcomm has taken a step further with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which features support for the iSIM standard.
The iSIM technology is identical to eSIM but is integrated directly into the processor, freeing up space in the device’s housing. This means that smartphones can be slimmer or accommodate additional equipment.
Additionally, production costs are expected to decrease slightly. The iSIM technology also eliminates the need for users to remove the SIM card to change the operator, making it more convenient.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor is a game-changer that provides unmatched power and eliminates the need for traditional SIM cards.
This innovative technology offers a more convenient solution for users and is expected to become more popular in the coming years.
While Qualcomm has not disclosed which devices will feature the new processor, we can be sure that more and more manufacturers will adopt iSIM technology to provide users with a more seamless experience.
