There is an important difference between the apps that support the a 32 bit and those that support architecture a 64 bit. Between poco we will see what changes between the two but now, what interests us is that Xiaomi, I live e Oppo they decided to stop supporting the former to give more space to the latter. They communicate it to us authoritative Chinese sources which report the news published on Chinese official sites of the three companies. Let's see the news in detail and what changes.
Xiaomi, Oppo and vivo say goodbye to support for 32-bit apps. Starting this year, systems will only support 64-bit
Xiaomi, Oppo and vivo say goodbye to 32-bit app support for make room for 64 bits. From this moment on, all developers of smartphone applications (from official and non-official stores) must begin to adapt. Xiaomi specifically has published a scaletta according to which this change will take note:
- end of August 2022: Android smartphone hardware will support 64-bit systems and will only receive 64-bit APK packages. however, the 32 bits will work (like, we'll see later)
- end of 2023: Hardware will only support 64-bit APK and 32-bit apps will not work on devices
Consequently the transition phase it will last throughout 2022 at least for Xiaomi. The company also released a tutorial on its official Chinese site which will help developers create apps with the new architecture.
Until a few years ago, the main advantage of 64-bit apps wasn't all that visible. In fact, only smartphones with RAM greater than or equal to 4 GB they could see the difference. Compared to a SoC that supports 32-bit architecture, the 64-bit one has the ability to process multimedia content much faster thanks to the ability to manage much more information at the same time.
