Smartphones Galaxy Snapdragon-powered chipsets will soon be able to track location better. In particular, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 chips will be able to "do it", thanks to the Trimble RTX GNSS technology from Trimble.
Qualcomm announced yesterday that it will make Trimble RTX GNSS correction platform and technology available through firmware updates for its two high-end chipsets, Snadragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888, in the second quarter of this year. Devices powered by these chips should then be capable of more accurate location tracking and enable user experiences such as in-car navigation with lane guidance to an accuracy of roughly 1 meter.

Samsung wasn't mentioned in Qualcomm's press release, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 are used by several of its devices, so they too will soon be able to use the technology. In other words, smartphones Galaxy powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Snapdragon 888 should improve GPS location tracking and have improved in-car navigation in the coming months.

Phones Galaxy using the Snapdragon 888 chip include Galaxy S21 FE 5G series Galaxy S21 and "puzzles" Galaxy From Flip3 and Galaxy From Fold3. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 then powers the new series Galaxy S22. It should be noted that these chips are only available in some markets, because the other mentioned smartphones are equipped with Exynos chips and they probably won't get the Trimble RTX GNSS technology in the near future. In our case, it's just the line Galaxy S22, which is distributed to the European market with Exynos.
Hello,
a year after the publication of your article, it is still wishful thinking. Not even the current Samsung model Galaxy The S23, with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, does not support enhanced navigation. Navigation is still at the same level as in 4-year-old models.
Do you have any current ones? informace to Samsung's GNSS issue and looking forward to better times? Thank you for answer.
