Xiaomi 14 Series To Support 32-Bit Apps Despite Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's Limitation

Qualcomm‘s brand-new chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, lacks support for 32-bit Arm apps. Despite this limitation, Xiaomi’s 14 series, the first phones to use this chipset, can still run these applications.

Xiaomi has integrated a 32-bit to 64-bit Arm binary translator named “Tango” from Amanieu Systems, reported Android Police. This translator allows the Xiaomi 14 series to support 32-bit apps despite the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s lack of native support for them.

Android expert Mishaal Rahman explains that this translator solution is not only a technical marvel but also a strategic move. With Google‘s push for 64-bit apps, newer devices with updated chipsets will need such translators to run older 32-bit apps.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is an AI powerhouse that could even challenge Google’s Tensor series. It boasts a 3.3GHz Cortex-X4 as the primary core, paired with seven lower-power cores. Qualcomm has also made significant strides in gaming, with the Adreno GPU promising a 25% boost in performance and efficiency.
