Qualcomm is the world's leading supplier of smartphone system-on-chips and wireless modems, and the largest licensor of cellular technology patents. Its QCT semiconductor segment sells Snapdragon processors and modems powering premium Android smartphones from Samsung, Xiaomi, and others, plus a fast-growing automotive business supplying digital cockpit and driver-assistance platforms, and IoT chips spanning PCs (Snapdragon X), XR headsets, and industrial devices. The QTL licensing segment collects royalties on essentially every 3G/4G/5G handset sold, reflecting Qualcomm's foundational patents in cellular standards. The company is diversifying beyond handsets toward automotive, PC, and edge-AI markets as Apple develops in-house modems. Founded in 1985, Qualcomm is headquartered in San Diego, California.
