The List of manufacturers include ASUS, Black Shark, Fujitsu, Lenovo, OPPO, realme, Vivo, Redmi, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Nubia, Xiaomi and ZTE. (While not in the list, we can also expect Meizu, OnePlus, LG, and even HMD Global to release handsets with flagship SoCs).
Qualcomm released a list of 19 devices. Some of which have already launched, such as the Galaxy S20 series, the realme X50 Pro 5G, the iQOO 3 5G, and the Sony Xperia 1 II. This list is of course, just a fraction of the 70, but it does reveal some interesting news.
