According to a report from the DigitimesQualcomm could be gearing up to launch its own gaming smartphone later this year.

The process will reportedly involve a partnership with veteran mobile hardware company ASUS, while Qualcomm will focus on ‘industry design’ and software configured to run on its Snapdragon 875 chip. The two companies would certainly seem well matched. ASUS has extensive experience in delivering high quality gaming smartphones, with its ASUS ROG Phone 3 model already incorporating Qualcomm’s latest chipset, the Snapdragon 865+.

Qualcomm typically unveils its latest chipsets at an event in early December, before phone companies launch their new designs the following year. Hence, this year’s event is fueling speculation that this could be the perfect setting to launch not only its latest Snapdragon 875 chipset, but also its own mobile device.

This report comes in the context of NVIDIA’s acquisition of Arm, a move that could cause headaches for Qualcomm’s supply chain as some of its products rely heavily on Arm designs. NVIDIA, however, appeased its rivals over the deal, saying it will continue to operate Arm as an independent subsidiary with a customer neutral model, meaning they will maintain access to Arm’s technology for as long as they can afford it.
