Qualcomm wants OEMs to have easier time updating Android, will announce something later this year
www.androidauthority.com
Qualcomm knows that updating older chips is complicated (and expensive) for Android OEMs. The company will make this a bit easier this year.

TLDR

  • A Qualcomm executive told Android Authority that the company is working to make it easier for OEMs to keep devices with older Qualcomm chipsets up to date.
  • The company understands that updating older devices is currently “complicated,” not to mention expensive.
  • There will be some announcements on this topic “later this year,” presumably surrounding the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

    No, that’d be too easy. We can’t have that. Please buy new chips.
