Understanding Android Versions Across Processors: What You Need to Know

When selecting an Android-powered device, the Android version plays a significant role in determining its features, security, and performance. Here’s an overview of the Android versions supported by various processors, along with some important insights for users.

Android Versions by Processor

  1. TS18 and 8581: Devices powered by these processors run on Android 10.
  2. TS9 and 9853i: These processors typically support Android 8.1 or earlier versions.
  3. UIS7870 and Snapdragon Processors: Uniquely, these processors are capable of supporting the latest Android 13.

Beware of Fake Android Versions

A significant observation in the market is that many devices, especially those powered by processors other than Snapdragon, claim to run Android 11, 12, or 13, but these versions are often fake. It’s essential to verify the authenticity of the Android version when purchasing a device.

Updates and Upgradability

FYT has recently introduced support for Android 12 and 13 on devices powered by the 7862(S) processor. However, as of now, there is no known method to upgrade existing devices to these newer Android versions.

Understanding these nuances helps users make informed decisions when choosing devices. Always research thoroughly and verify claims about Android versions to ensure you get the features and support you need.
