Qualcomm promises to make Android updates easier for older chipsets

Qualcomm plans to make the Android update process much easier for OEMs and has announced new initiatives.

Here's What We Know

The company's management has recognised the complexity and high costs of updating older Qualcomm chipsets, which makes it difficult to keep older devices up to date with the latest software. Over the past two years, OEMs have significantly improved their upgrade strategy, but challenges remain.

The company is working to optimise the embedded code and plans to announce more details on the changes at upcoming events, including IFA in September and the Snapdragon Summit in October. These steps are expected to help increase the duration of Android support for devices running on Qualcomm chipsets and reduce complexity for original equipment manufacturers.
