Qualcomm Shows Off Agentic AI Across Devices at China Unicom Partner Conference

From September 9 to 10, the 2026 China Unicom Partner Conference was held at the Shanghai Expo Center. Qualcomm set up a booth under the theme "Connecting the Future, Making Intelligent Computing Everywhere" to showcase how AI and connectivity are deeply merging.

Qualcomm and China Unicom Research Institute introduced the UniClaw agent host solution, built on Dragonwing QCS6490, QCS8550, and IQ-9075 platforms. It covers different enterprise tiers and comes preloaded with over 50 office skills. A Snapdragon OpenClaw demo showed invoice OCR and expense report generation with all data staying on-device.

On the consumer side, KIWEAR's second-gen smart ring with Snapdragon S7+ supports voice wake-up and gesture controls. Honor's Robot Phone with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 features a titanium four-axis gimbal and on-device agent computing. Nubia NaviX Ultra, the world's first AI agent phone, runs a system-level GUI Agent architecture.

Qualcomm also showed 6G prototype systems and sensing demos. Its "AI Acceleration Plan" launched in September 2025 has partnered with over ten Chinese companies to bring agentic AI to devices.
