Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Brings AI To More Android Phones
Users can expect greater efficiency with improved gaming and camera performance.
At its annual Snapdragon Summit yesterday, Qualcomm unveiled its latest mobile chipset. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 boasts a wealth of upgrades, but the introduction of on-device generative AI is probably the most noteworthy, being similar to the technology used by Google on its Tensor G3.
Qualcomm claims the new chipset’s AI Engine to be the world’s fastest Stable Diffusion system, able to generate images in less than a second.
Compared with the previous model, Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s CPU offers 30% better performance while being 20% more efficient. In terms of graphics processing, users will benefit from a 25% performance boost while enjoying 25% greater efficiency.
When it comes to camera and editing technology, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will support the ability to remove people and objects from photos, just like Google’s “Magic Eraser” tool. Voice-activated editing will also be available using Qualcomm’s Cognitive ISP.
Elsewhere, gaming upgrades include support for Unreal Engine 5.2 plus hardware-accelerated ray-tracing, which the company says is a mobile chipset first that will deliver “lifelike, multi-source lighting” in games.

Outside of AI smarts and upgraded gaming ability, the new Snapdragon chipset also uses the X75 Modem-RF System to deliver improved 5G speeds, better coverage, and location accuracy. Wi-Fi 7 connectivity will also be supported.
Android users won’t have to wait long to try the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Qualcomm says new devices featuring the chipset should appear over the coming weeks. Among the manufacturers that will use it are ASUS, Sony, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor, and ZTE.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine
Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.
Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.
Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.
“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.
The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.
The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
