On 13 April 2023, Qualcomm Technologies and Xiaomi announced that they successfully verified meter-level positioning in a Xiaomi 12 T Pro powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform in Germany. Qualcomm meter-level positioning for mobile enables superior location capabilities and was first launched by Xiaomi via its Xiaomi 11 Pro and Xiaomi 11 Ultra in China.
Meter-level positioning accuracy can improve smartphone user experience in numerous scenarios, including mapping, driving, and other mobile applications. For instance, it enables greater accuracy when using:
- Ridesharing applications to identify pick-up locations for both drivers and riders
- Fitness applications to track users’ movements in outdoor activities, including biking and running
- In-vehicle real-time navigation applications for increased lane-level accuracy with greater map details and more accurate directions
