Qualcomm announced last yearNew sound platforms S5 Gen 2, S3 Gen 2, in order to help the industry create lower latency, lossless sound quality devices, it also announced earlier the launch of the S3 Gen 2 sound platform expansion design designed in the form of a USB adapter or dongle, emphasizing lower power consumption and better gaming sound experience.
Designed as a USB adapter or dongle, the S3 Gen 2 sound platform incorporates Snapdragon Sound technology and is optimized for Bluetooth LE Audio, a low-energy audio technology. It can transmit audio with a latency of less than 20ms, allowing users to enjoy more immediate, delay-free sound performance during gaming.
In addition, the S3 Gen 2 sound platform also integrates LE Audio Auracast broadcast audio technology, which can be used with audio devices such as mobile phones, laptops or TVs, and can support Bluetooth broadcast application experience.
The S3 Gen 2 sound platform also supports Qualcomm aptX adaptive sound technology and 24-bit, 96kHz high-resolution Bluetooth audio streaming, allowing users to hear more sound details.
As for the design of gaming applications, Qualcomm said that the S3 Gen 2 sound platform, like the S5 Gen 2 sound platform, can provide higher connectivity and dynamic delay adaptation performance through the external RF environment. Even if the user's headphones are far away from their game console or PC device, they can still hear clear game content sound or online chat audio.
