Leading mobile chip makers Qualcomm and MediaTek have announced that they will be working with Google to optimize smartphones for the newly announced Android Oreo (Go edition). The first smartphones running on the Android Oreo (Go edition) will be released early next year.
Qualcomm will be optimizing its entry-level Snapdragon chipsets for smartphones with 512MB to 1GB of RAM so that they can deliver enhanced performance for a smoother software experience. Manufacturers will be able to start working on Android Oreo (Go edition) devices using Snapdragon chips once Google releases Android 8.1 Oreo to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
MediaTek, on the other hand, claims that its MT6739, MT6737, and MT6580 chipsets are now ready to support Android Oreo (Go edition). This means we can expect to see a number of new entry-level Android smartphones powered by these MediaTek chipsets to hit the markets globally starting early next year.
