Google is now testing a 64-bit only edition of Android 13 for a smartphone with the codename Tangor reveals Mishaal Rahman. For those who are unaware, the Pixel Tablet, which was announced at Google I/O 2022 earlier this year, is what the codename refers to. If it happens, the Pixel Tablet will be one of the first Android devices to stop supporting 32-bit.
Tangor, the rumored Pixel Tablet, may ship with a 64-bit-only build of Android 13. That should reduce memory use, but it means the tablet won’t be able to run any 32-bit apps.https://t.co/C3d3Y5pS24 pic.twitter.com/1SKh3pPcG6 — Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) August 16, 2022 Now, just in case you’re curious about the advantages you’ll enjoy. The Pixel Tablet will use less RAM if 32-bit compatibility is removed, but 32-bit applications won’t be able to run on the tablet at the same time. However, Google mandated in 2019 that all apps support 64-bit. Making the transition to a 64-bit platform may be beneficial in many ways. Since Google hasn’t released a comment about the changeover, it is difficult to anticipate it.
