Qualcomm is preparing to increase chip prices by double-digit percentages. This may put additional pressure on smartphone, wearable device, and laptop manufacturers who are already struggling with high component costs. Qualcomm has notified its customers that higher prices will be applied to products shipped after September 1. The company stated that it can no longer absorb the increasing supplier costs.
Qualcomm's price increase may affect a wide range of consumer electronics products. The company's Snapdragon processors and modems are used in smartphones from major Android brands such as Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi, Oppo, Honor, and others. Additionally, Qualcomm silicon is used in Windows laptops, smartwatches, routers, cars, virtual reality headsets, and the emerging category of smart glasses.
Device manufacturers must now decide whether to absorb the extra costs, reduce features, or pass the increase on to consumers.
