Qualcomm recently announced a new agreement with Google to extend support updates for upcoming Android phones featuring Snapdragon 8 and 7-series chips to up to eight consecutive years. While this initiative aims to align with the seven years of support provided by Google's Pixel devices, the timeline includes the device's release year, leading to potential seven years of actual version upgrades. Despite this expansion, the actual implementation is contingent upon individual device manufacturers' choices, raising concerns about the viability of long-term support for typical phone lifespans.
More Android phones could soon provide longer lifetime support updates thanks to a new agreement between Qualcomm and Google, offering up to eight consecutive years of updates.
Qualcomm's expanded update plans make it easier for manufacturers to provide extended support but ultimately depend on OEM decisions for specific models.
