This is good stuff and maybe a step in the direction of more frequent and better security patching for mobile operating systems. As it stands, you can easily buy a handset that has pretty serious, known exploits and expect they will never get updates or patches.
The idea is to update the driver via playstore, but dunno how exactly it will be implemented. Right now and for many many years driver versions existed, but manufacturers wasn't too exited to include them in updates, in fact most would update the GPU driver only with major OS release (while it can be included in security update without any issues) - reason? QA testing and the possibility that something will not work as expected with the new driver while they know everything works with the old one (and they don't really care even if the driver vastly improves some aspects like performance).
It'll be like desktop drivers when security vulnerabilities are patched on 10 year old hardware. Qualcomm are changing little more than the frequency of releases, not the forced end of life of perfectly good hardware.
Samsung smartphones are really amazing to use and after the I phones people also prefer Samsung's phone the reason is that their mobile features are really incredible and the 5G smartphones are helpful because you can also get shopping online and recently I also bought the french press coffee maker online at https://brandedkitchen.com/productcat/french-press... and the online shopping is prevent very helpfully for me.
Can someone help me set a ringtone on my samsung note 20. i download the ringtone on https: neyviaan.com. I changed the ringtone according to the instructions, but when someone calls it it still doesn't sound

Will Google or Samsung integrate these updates into their monthly updates?When Qualcomm last issued updates to their graphic driver Google never packed them into updates.
