Qualcomm wants to give gamers a nearly latency-free experience with its upcoming S3 Gen 2 Sound platform that runs on Bluetooth 5.4. The platform, which was just announced today (June 23), promises sub-20ms latency that's far below the 100ms latency of Bluetooth 5.3.
The S3 Gen 2 Sound platform builds on Qualcomm’s work with aptX Low Lantecy, a codec that delivers audio with just a 40ms delay. The S3 Gen 2 platform will cut that time in half. Why do you want faster delivery over Bluetooth? Well, for gamers, it’s all about hearing your teammates in real-time, which is incredibly important for games like Call of Duty Mobile.
