Unisoc partners just have to “finish” their firmware
Unisoc platforms – simple and low-power – are used in budget smartphones that cannot boast of outstanding characteristics. Until recently, the transition to a new version of Android for these devices was something very rare. But now everything has changed.
The company has provided support for Android 14 on all its smartphone platforms with 5G and LTE modems
Unisoc began to work closely with Google – and here is the first result: the company immediately provided support for Android 14 on all its smartphone platforms with 5G and LTE modems. We are talking about 9 single-chip systems: T820, T770, T760, T750, T619, T616, T612, T606 and SC9863A. Unisoc has made it easier for OEMs and ODMs to update to the latest version of Android, significantly reducing overall costs and speeding up the update time. Based on the software update package, Unisoc customers only need to modify the top layer of software (essentially, their firmware) in order to complete the transition to Android 14.
As part of the collaboration with Google, starting with Android 13, all Unisoc mobile platforms support four Android updates. Security updates for them will also be released over four years.
What Unisoc has done, even Samsung has not done yet: yes, the Koreans have been updating their flagships and mid-level models for a long time, but budget devices are updated mostly only for two years. For example, the Samsung Galaxy M11 came out with Android 10 and received Android 12. You can count on the same two years of updates when purchasing Redmi.
