Qualcomm And Google has announced prolonged management for Snapdragon 8 and 7 chipsets this week, which means that owners of supported devices could comply with up to 8 full years of software and security updates . Currently, the most we get is 7 years old, gracked Samsung and Google. Thanks to Qualcomm, it seems that we could soon see the devices launched with 8 -year guarantees, which is wild to consider.
Qualcomm, in a blog article, says: “This decision underlines a commitment from Qualcomm Technologies to provide as much value as possible to the products powered by our chipsets. The longer window promotes the longevity and sustainability of the devices, while ensuring that the manufacturers of devices have access to the latest version of Android during these eight years. »»
What is important
- This is eligible for the launch of Android devices on new Snapdragon 8 and 7
- Longevity and sustainability of the increased device, so that OEMs can update their devices to provide more durable Android experiences for our users on devices powered by Snapdragon
- This marks the longest period of software support that Qualcomm has provided for smartphone platforms available for manufacturers of devices
It is important to note that it will be up to OEMs using Snapdragon silicon to deliver these updates and take advantage of the program. It is not because the support is there, it does not mean that the particular phone is guaranteed to receive updates. However, with the announcement, it seems likely that Samsung and Google would use it, given the investment in the sustainability they both preach.
Qualcomm says that the launch of Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphones has been powered with Android 15 will be the first handsets that will come from this program. In addition, the program will cover the next five generations of Qualcomm Technologies Asics as part of the collaboration with Google.
This is good news, even if the majority of us do not use our phones during this long.
