Your next Android phone could get up to eight years of software updates – but there are catches

  • Phones running Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip can get up to eight years of software support.
  • This will expand to future Android phones running Qualcomm Chips.
  • However, someone will actually use a phone for eight years? We are not that sure.

More and more Android phones could come up with longer software and security support thanks to a partnership between Google and Qualcomm.

The essence of this partnership means that the two companies will aim to expand software and security support to devices running Snapdragon chips for up to eight years consecutive updates. The first phones that fall into this initiative will be the ones that sports with flagship quality Snapdragon Elite 8-Chipset, with the partnership set to cover the next five generations of Qualcomm Chips.
