GPU Driver Updates for Your Smartphone?! Next-Gen Disc-less Xbox Still in the Works and More...

Qualcomm just announced the next step in smartphone SOC’s. For the high-end phones, we got the Snapdragon 865 and for middle-end ones the 765. The reveal was heavily focused on 5g technology, which is kind of boring honestly.

One thing they mentioned though is updates for the new Adreno 650 GPU, and when I mean updates, I mean driver updates similar to what you would see on PC. this would allow your phone to get optimization updates for specific games and maybe even added features without having to wait for the next Android version to come out. You would just have to download it on the play store.
Smartphone processors are getting really powerful, I wouldn’t be surprised is arm based consoles made a big comeback, and actually stayed this time. This Adreno 650 can actually drive QHD+ resolutions at up to144hz… if the game is simple enough of course. Now while this GPU driver update feature sounds nice, there are 2 problems. First, this is a going forward type of thing, meaning older snapdragon equipped phones will not have that feature. The second thing is that the updates are supposed to come from the phone manufacturers.. So yeah. At least it should be easier thanks to project Mainline in android which allows a more modular update approach for smartphone drivers and features.
