The Snapdragon™ 8 Gen 3 Mobile Hardware Development Kit is a feature-rich development platform designed to provide an ideal starting point for creating high-performance devices and applications based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform. Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ SM8650 SoC, this is Qualcomm’s first AI Engine to support multi-modal generative AI models, including popular large language models (LLM), language vision models (LVM), and transformer network-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) up to 10B parameters—solely on-device.
Key features for developers:
Generative AI: Transform your apps with text, voice, and image generation capabilities.
Intelligent Personalization: Tailor user experiences with custom settings and preferences.
Enhanced Camera: Smart night vision and video object eraser for improved photography and videography.
High-Performance Gaming: Optimize your apps for seamless, high-performance gaming.
Privacy Protection: Ensure user data remains secure with advanced security features.
Explore the full potential of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and elevate your app development!

I have some of these. They are not widely distributed. I'm in the UK, but had to import them from Lantronix in Canada.
I use them for testing very compute-intensive software on Android. The testing takes about 12 hours on one of these. The great advantage of these devices is simple: they don't have batteries. No mobile device has enough battery capacity to run a Cortex-X series core flat out for 12 hours, and I haven't found one that can charge fast enough while also talking to a host computer over USB. So a mains-powered device with no battery is ideal. It also can't suffer from a bulged battery.
If you get one, I'd advise bolting the display board to the main board. Ordinary M2.5 or M3.0 bolts (can't remember which) are all you need. Those connectors are fairly strong, but avoiding stressing them removes a potential cause of problems.
WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN INDIA
I hope qualcom make gpu external for smartphone 🙂
Perfect phone for me
I need 5G sim modem
what we can do with this module?
What about the Snapdragon 8 Elite?
Thanks for sharing this! The hardware looks super cool! I’m curious—do game developers get access to these kits early to test how their games perform on the processor? Also, what are the RAM and storage specifications for this device? Lastly, when building phones with this CPU, is the dev kit design essentially shrunk down to fit into a phone? Really fascinating stuff! Thanks ^-^
Mipi costs like 4k dollars
some of comment is no brainer .this for developer to create something new not for public use or idiot
Super startup,project power full
Nice news
flexibility 2/10, design 1/10, price 10/10
how to order it ? It seems there are two versions of this HDK, how to order the one that comes with support of LE and LA ?
I'm not a developer, I'm just here appreciating this really cool device 🤩
Maybe i made a special handheld with android și daijido build in
How stupid all the people are here, guys these boards are for those who want to develop something from ground, I mean mostly new processors in market.
We don't need it, just buy any device having open source kernel and damn.
Btw, we can use old kernel for new hardware as well but only inline CPUs, not outline CPUs.
So one code from same lineup SoC would work on other as well!
Damm it cost's $1,799.00 for dev kit only. Nahhhh I'll buy the new samsung S24 Ultran and still have $500 left. NTM it's way better and useful than this trash.
not a good design
600usd phone Worth buying😂
develop another processor in which city converts all excetics Apps Into arm instruction set so that all x86 apps will run in army processor smoothly so that consumer will have better optimization regarding old x86 apps, users are unable to run X 86 apps in arm processor and it is very painful. Hope developers will understand this problem in future
Ohhh a SBC!
Need GPIOs and comunication UART, I2C and SPI
Why no X elite kit 🤔
Why is this so expensive? You can buy 8 gen 3 phone at 1/5th the cost of this kit 😂
One of the tough testing board ,why you can't make Smaller in size with small universal connector/jack where all other thing are connected,
Guys, buy the phone which have open source kernel and codes.
That it.
Like 159$ 😂 not cheap. Performances per/ratio is weak
Costs 2 grand btw if anyone curious
how affordable it is ?
Can I Get A Review Unit? (just Kidding I am a very Small Creator to Get A Sponsorship)
Do you provide UEFI/ACPI for this marvel?
