When you look at Android smartphones today, most of the phones -- especially premium smartphones like OnePlus 8 Pro, Asus ROG III, or even Xiaomi¡¯s Mi10 -- all are running on hardware developed by Qualcomm. This SoC brand is regarded as one of the best in the smartphone industry, offering crazy fast performance while also being power-efficient thus delivering impressive battery performance.?
However, now this SoC maker has decided to dip its waters a little out of its territory. The chipmaker has announced today that it¡¯s going to launch its first-ever esports tournament dubbed Snapdragon Conquest in India.?
The move for organising a mobile-gaming esports tournament for India couldn¡¯t have come at a better time, since India has just started to embrace the mobile gaming revolution.

In Snapdragon Conquest, players will test their skills on Free Fire, battling against thousands of players around the country. The best of the best will be eligible to win a prize pool of whopping Rs 50 lakhs!
Rajen Vagadia, Vice President, Qualcomm India Private Limited and President, Qualcomm India & SAARC, said, ¡°India is a mobile-first industry.
