Over at Android Authority, Qualcomm says they’re (still) trying to make it easier to deliver more frequent Android updates.
Qualcomm expects more code optimization
The company behind the chipsets for the fastest Android top models, and now the new Windows laptops, admits that updating Google’s OS is too complicated:
“It’s very complicated for a customer – an OEM – to get security updates, get Android version updates and deliver this to all end users. It’s very expensive and very complicated,” admits Chris Patrick. Patrick is a “mobile manager” at Qualcomm.
At the same time, Patrick makes it clear that his company is not the biggest problem with update rate, and that they have been working on streamlining the updates for some time already:
“One of the things we’ve been working on for the last couple of years with Google and the OEMs is changing the structure of the native code – changing the machinery of how we do these updates.” Android Authority believes that this should theoretically make it easier to update mobile phones, but it is unlikely that every OEM will be able to match Google and Samsung. seven years with updates.
We expect October to reveal before the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
Mobil’s boss reveals that further code improvements will be made public later this year: “We’ll be making a number of announcements about some of the changes we’ve made to facilitate this and help keep the entire Android phone ecosystem up to date more often . “
This means that Qualcomm will probably reveal the improvements in September at IFA or at the Snapdragon Summit in October, where the company will talk more about Snapdragon 8 Gen 4:
“The advantage for Qualcomm, over even more orders, is that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which will be revealed in October. 25 to 30 percent more expensive. The potentially lucrative situation was uncovered by Ming-Chi Kuo.”
