Over 98.9% Compatibility Rate of Four Chinese Smartphone Makers' Stores, But 64-Bit Adaptation Still an Issue

TapTechNews June 21st news, according to the Mobile Intelligent Terminal Ecosystem Alliance (formerly the Gold Standard Alliance), as of today (June 21st), the full compatibility rate of the software stores of OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, and Lenovo has reached more than 98.9%, and there are still more than 4800+ (99% not on the shelf) key applications that affect users' daily lives that have not been adapted to 64-bit. TapTechNews attaches the list of 64-bit non-compliant applications in June.

The Mobile Intelligent Terminal Ecosystem Alliance revealed that the Arm architecture CPU core has been mandatorily adopting 64-bit since 2023, and 32-bit instructions are gradually being phased out. In 2024, Google has restricted 32-bit applications on Android 15, meaning that new phones with Android 15 installed will not be able to install and use 32-bit applications starting in September 2024.

This organization stated that in order to better enhance the Android application compatibility experience and avoid the problem of applications not being able to be installed and used on new phones in the second half of 2024, please all developers must complete 64-bit adaptation by August 31, 2024.

The Gold Standard Alliance is an open and non-profit social organization voluntarily initiated and established by Chinese intelligent terminal manufacturers OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, Ali, Baidu, and Tencent. In November 2022, Lenovo announced to join the Gold Standard Alliance. In April 2023, BBK announced to join the Gold Standard Alliance.
