#security updates

Through this collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, we expect that Android users will have the latest OS upgrades and greater security on their devices,” Vice President of Android Engineering of Google, David Burke stated. With the partnership with Google, Qualcomm will now support four Android OS versions and four years of security updates across Snapdragon platforms using the Project Treble enhancements, to start with the new Snapdragon 888 Mobile Platform. “We are excited to work with Google to extend our support for Android OS and security updates on future Snapdragon mobile platforms utilizing the Project Treble enhancements,” Vice President Product Management of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Kedar Kondap mentioned. However, Google also recognizes that by working closely with Qualcomm, they would deliver Android's best to its users faster and with enhanced security for an extended period of time. Sometimes, it takes a huge/serious security alert like the one we have now with WordPress to force people to upgrade their blogs to the latest secure version. These devices will receive three years of Android OS upgrades and four years of security patches. Older realme models outside these series will retain the standard 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security patches. Select devices are now granted support for 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches.
