Important updates and security patches will be released for the new chipset. Moreover, the support program is also valid for the chipsets that will be included in future smartphones.
Rahman noted that users should expect seven more years of support, taking into account the current year. The insider cited Qualcomm senior vice president and general manager of phones Chris Patrick, who promised long-term support for the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The executive promised seamless integration of the chipset software with eight versions of Android.
“I am pleased to announce that we are now offering 8 versions of Android along with 8 years of software support, starting with Snapdragon 8 Elite. This is great because it is the longest lasting one on the market today. This support not only helps ensure device longevity and sustainability, but also gives consumers confidence that the device they buy today will have the latest software and security for nearly a decade,” Patrick said at the Snapdragon Summit.
