- Android is getting an upgrade that allows it to support a 16KB page size.
- This will let Android support hardware that runs either 4KB or 16KB pages.
- The upgrade should result in videos, games, and apps running more smoothly.
Android is soon about to get a nice little performance boost that should make it faster and more efficient than before. Specifically, Google is working on making its OS support hardware with 16KB page sizes.
Today, the company published a new post on its Android Developer Blog announcing that Android will soon be page-size agnostic. By page-size agnostic, the firm means Android will support both 4KB and 16KB page devices. The company is opening up the option for developers to switch between 4KB and 16KB on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro with Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1.
