Qualcomm launches the QCC3026 SoC for cost-effective wireless earbuds

The new SoC supports Bluetooth v5.0 and supported audio technologies include Qualcomm Broadcast, TrueWireless Stereo and Qualcomm aptX and cVc audio technologies. The SoC features 32-bit architecture with clock speeds up to 32MHz and also features programmable apps.
OPPO has recently announced their first wireless stereo earbuds called – ‘O-Free’ based on the new QCC3026 SoC with Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo, and will also be included with Find X phones.
Similarly, ‘the other phone manufacturers are intended to make their own set of earbuds and will most likely go to sale in the next half of 2018 at a commercial level bundled with their popular handsets’ the company has stated its press release.
