Network transmission of all Snapdragon 800/801 devices missed Android 7.0 blame Qualcomm?

On the 23rd, Lei Fengwang (searched by "Lei Feng Net" public concern) reported that the latest version of Google's Android 7.0 (codenamed Nougat) was launched on the same day. The first batch of Google devices including the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and Pixel C were delivered. Just as a large number of other Android partners are looking forward to it, today's Internet has reported such a bad news.

According to foreign ROM developers and HTC broke news person LlabTooFeR given on the Twitter message, because Qualcomm has not given Xiaolong 800/801 series processor graphics processing driver, so all including HTC M8 Dragon 800/801 devices will miss the official push upgrade for Android Nougat.

If the news is true, then there will be a number of mobile phone models including Samsung Galaxy S5, VIVO Xshot, Xiaomi 4, Xiaomi NOTE, Sony Xperia Z3, One Plus OnePlus One, hammer T1, and One Plus X that were only launched last year. This is also likely to have a large negative impact on the system's popularity of nougat in the future.

But at the same time there are other news outflows that seem to have overturned LlabTooFeR's remarks from the side.

Shanthosh M, a certified developer from the foreign xda Android developer forum, announced yesterday that he had successfully implemented a modified unofficial version of Android 7.0 into Nexus 5. It is well known that the main processor used by the Nexus 5 is the Snapdragon 800, and Google did not include Nexus 5 in the first push lists. This seems to prove that Xiaolong 800/801's hardware layer should not be asked, but Google thinks the Nexus 5 model is too old to be adapted in time.

At present, it is still not clear how the truth will be. Qualcomm also did not make public comments on it in a timely manner as the majority of users expect.
