Qualcomm,Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4

Android updates may get easier as soon as this year as Qualcomm prepares to announce code optimization to help reduce software fragmentation.

Android updates are one of the most inconsistent things about being an Android phone user. It’s gotten better over the years, and generally, if you’re a Google Pixel or Samsung flagship owner, you can usually count on getting the latest updates at reasonable speed. The story is a little different if you own a phone in the midrange or budget lineup with an older chipset, let alone one that’s running on an Exynos or MediaTek processor.

Recommended Videos “One of the things we’ve been working on for the past several years with Google and with the OEMs is to change the structure of inline code — to kind of change the machinery for how we do those updates,” said Chris Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of handsets at Qualcomm. The idea behind this is to reduce the bottlenecks OEMs face trying to roll updates out to older devices.
