Qualcomm will release an update for the Snapdragon 865 GPU via the Play Store

Qualcomm will release software updates for the Snapdragon 865 GPU (Adreno 650) via the Play Store. Previously, these updates were only available to users through the phone manufacturer. Even in some countries, updating the phone firmware is often long due to the network.

But when Qualcomm updates the graphics driver through the Play Store, users may see more patches to optimize performance for new games, fix problems faster and easier .

Currently, the Adreno 650 on Snapdragon 865 is the only GPU that will receive Play Store updates but we can expect that in the near future Qualcomm will provide such updates for all of its GPUs. .

Qualcomm is able to provide updates to Adreno GPU drivers on the Play Store thanks to Project Mainline, Google's latest attempt at reducing Android fragmentation. Google created Android Pony EXpress (APEX), a new file format for packaging apps like the current APK. APEX can also be released via the Play Store. When users download and install, APEX files will expand into system files and update by overwriting existing files.
