At MWC Barcelona 2026, Qualcomm shared its plan for 6G, the next generation of wireless technology. The company aims to help launch commercial 6G networks starting in 2029. A big part of this effort involves working closely with major technology companies, including Samsung.

6G is not just about faster internet. It is being designed to be smarter from the start. Artificial intelligence will be built into the network itself. This means the network will be able to manage traffic better, improve performance automatically, and support new smart services.

Qualcomm is known for making the chips that power many smartphones and wireless devices. In 6G, the company will focus on creating advanced processors and modem technology that can handle faster speeds and more complex AI tasks. Qualcomm will also help develop global 6G standards and test early systems before they are launched worldwide.

Samsung is one of the world’s largest smartphone and network equipment makers. The company already plays a big role in 5G networks and mobile devices.

With 6G, Samsung is expected to help build new smartphones, base stations, and network systems that support the new technology. Its experience in making both devices and network equipment makes it an important partner.

Qualcomm, with Samsung and several other big companies, will work on improving three main areas – stronger connectivity, better sensing technology, and powerful computing. They also plan to test early versions of 6G devices and networks by 2028 before the full rollout begins in 2029. Stay tuned for more information.
