Tornado15550 Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 Hey folks, I've noticed that the XRS4000 has a 64-bit capable CPU, but is running a 32-bit version of Android. Is there any reason why the 64-bit Arm64-v8a version of Android was not used? Are there any plans to release a 64bit version of the OS? The point of having a 64-bit capable CPU is negated if the OS cannot make use of the newer instruction set. Quote
SloppyJoe Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 I don't think you can use 32 bit with 64. So I'm pretty sure it's all 64 bit software Quote

Try installing an arm64-v8a APK on your XRS4000/XR4000 and it will fail to install because the OS supports armv7 (32-bit) only. Edited November 15, 2019 by Tornado15550 Quote

I believe 64bit is either coming or in beta at the moment. 1 Quote
