    Next five years means 7+gen 3 is not included?
    I only use for 4 years max anyway.

      Anonymous, 7 hours agoin 4 months, minimum of 5years will be mandatory in the EU.... moreHow is that supposed to work? How many updates are required for a device to be "supported"? What happens if a company goes bankrupt? I have so many questions.

        in 4 months, minimum of 5years will be mandatory in the EU. you cannot sell your phone in the EU if you have less than 5years of software support ( for new devices ofc)

                Its a shame redmagic is still going to stick to 1+2. Really shows just how much they're dumping in the trash huh

                  If only more smartphone brands embrace USB3 with wired video output and Desktop Mode support, especially on midrange phones. Smartphone SoCs nowadays, even on midrange tiers, are more than powerful to be a legit pocket PC.

                      potato4k, 15 hours agoSo it only starts with the SD8 Elite and new 7 series. Well... more7s gen 3 & 6 gen 4 were basically the same soc from the cpu/gpu stand point

                        Let's hope phone manufacturers have a strategy to deliver those 8 years OS updates on time and not delay any phone with whatever processor

                          potato4k, 15 hours agoSo it only starts with the SD8 Elite and new 7 series. Well... moreThis doesnt mandate oems to update for 8 years.

                            So it only starts with the SD8 Elite and new 7 series. Well, expect all OEMs to only use SD6 series for the next few years for their mid range to avoid having to provide longer support. 🤭 I'm expecting more devices with the recycled 6s gen 3

                                Well in that case we still didn't receive OneUI 7 yet so consider seeding the update to the eligible devices 🙏🗿

                                  Why mention asics with Qualcomm & Google when stating the 8 Elite when NO Google product uses that SoC or asics at all!!!

                                    Boom!

                                    This is the second arm of QC that nobody before understood!!

                                    I told you all before just a few comments ta back why it would take an OEM like Samsung to usher out OneUI 7 to all it's devices due to having so many chipsets and thus it's not just copy n paste. That new bugs get introduced from 1 platform to another - here i mean chipsets and thus the SoC manufacturer may need to help in fixing bugs.
