Now this is nice. Hopefully 3rd party manufacturers can also provide a longer life span for the device.

    Corporatism my friend.

    The issue is Qualcomm who makes the majority of SoCs for phones. Qualcomm, if I am not mistaken controls the support of the phone because the phone uses their chip.

    Google is now pulling an Apple move and using their own Silicon (Samsung’s Silicone) to bypass using Qualcomm.

        I’m no expert but Samsung chip is called exynos. Mali is GPU related and mtk is mediatek? A taiwanese company.
