Before anyone gets too excited, they’re going to use RISC-V for watches and such (Wear OS), but it’s still a big step towards having Android phones use RISC-V and major adoption. Maybe RISC-V is closer than we thought!

    There is a quick Google search where Qualcomm only guarantees 3 years of major OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. There is articles where Fairhope blames Qualcomm as the largest barrier to long term update support. Understand that google supports their own chipset that they design and lease the manufacturing with samsung for tensor. used to be Qualcomm for the first 4 generations as google tried to customize Qualcomm’s offerings to suit their needs.
