Robust performance
The QCM4290/QCS4290 delivers increased speeds and
sustained performance powered by the Kryo 260 CPU
architecture, so multi-tasking can happen seamlessly
with less lag. Videos have vivid graphics thanks to the
Qualcomm® Adreno™ 610 GPU.
Connect confidently
Productivity revolves around strong connections. The
QCM4290/QCS4290 is Wi-Fi 6-ready for powerful
connections that include battery-saving benefits and
enhanced Bluetooth® 5.1 capabilities. Wi-Fi 6 also
supports WPA-3 security, so you can connect confidently.
Intuitive experiences from on-device AI
intelligence
IoT devices should work smarter, not harder. The 3rd gen
Qualcomm AI Engine delivers astonishing AI, powering
more intuitive on-device AI intelligence. With the
Qualcomm® Sensing Hub, a device can quickly respond
to dierent needs.
Accelerate time to commercialization
The QCM4290/QCS4290 baseband chipset is pin-to-
pin compatible with Qualcomm® QCM2290/QCS2290
which helps customers leverage hardware and soware
development across various IoT devices to reduce cost
and time to commercialization.
The QCM4290/QCS4290 System-on-Chips
(SoCs) oer maximum mid-tier benefits
delivering greater performance. With the
Qualcomm® Kryo™ 260 CPU architecture
for increased speeds and robust on-device
performance, in addition to the 3rd generation
Qualcomm® AI Engine, this platform delivers
powerful performance, dynamic camera
capabilities and Wi-Fi 6-ready connectivity,
ideal for industrial and commercial IoT
applications such as industrial handhelds in
logistics and warehousing, security panels
and cameras. For increased intuitive on-
device intelligence, devices based on this
new solution will help enable productive and
ecient work environments.
