iOS 11 is almost here, and literally all the signs point to the new mobile platform version dropping 32-bit app support altogether.

We don't know much about Apple's fast-approaching iOS 11 build, and one of the few rumors floating around is a bit of a no-brainer.

Why is Windows 10 Mobile still a 32-bit OS when Android and iOS have long been on the 64-bit train? Everyone in mobile has access to 64-bit kit, so why should Microsoft’s software limit what people can do, especially when RAM counts are breaking 6GB these days?Well, Windows Phone and Windows Mobile have traditionally been

When Android 5.0 Lollipop landed last year, one of the most important features was full support for 64-bit CPUs. Now that the software supports it, it’s only a matter of time before devices start being made to make full use of the software – it’s only natural – and just as Senior Editor Joe Levi predicted, 64-bit is already starting to become one of the trends in 2015. That’s why it isn’t surprising at all to have come across today ...

I’ve been rather impressed with the SoCs that Qualcomm has been releasing under the “Snapdragon” brand, and really fell in love with the chips with the S4 line up back in the day. The S4 Pro was the sought after processor for smartphones and tablets – back in 2012. As we all know, technology marches ever onward. Phones and tablets powered by the Snapdragon 800 series took center stage in 2014. Now that 2015 is upon is, there’s a new generation ...

Xiaomi isn’t exactly a staple brand name here in the United States, but the company has racked up quite a reputation for itself in Asia (and especially China), primarily because of the budget phones it creates which are even pretty usable, as our impressions of the company’s Redmi 1S smartphone evidenced. Now, there’s a sequel available for that phone, and it’s called the Xiaomi Redmi 2. It’s got a few marginal ...

We’re all getting just a little excited now that the traditional release of the next devices from Google is just around the corner.

The Desire 816 was quite successful as a midranger for HTC, racking up plenty of sales overseas and earning praise in our full review of it – we called it a “mid-tier phone with flagship DNA,” so a successor naturally has us intrigued. The HTC Desire 820 has gone official today as a 64-bit Android, and it’s looking to set “a new benchmark for mid-range smartphones.”With an 8MP front-facing camera in tow, the ...

When it comes to desktop and laptop computing, 64-bit is pretty much a given, though many apps are still stuck in 32-bit limbo, running quietly alongside their 64-bit siblings. What’s really nice is that you don’t even notice the difference whether they’re 32-bit or 64-bit, the apps just work. Now, 64-bit Androids are here – sort of.I was first in line back when 64-bit was coming to desktop computers. Jumping to 64-bit meant a new motherboard, new hardware, and most importantly, a new CPU. To take full advantage of all this new hardware, a 64-bit operating system ...

Last week, HTC cut though a lot of the uncertainty surrounding its own plans for IFA 2014, dropping a teaser that pretty unambiguously referred to the rumored Desire 820. While on its own, another Desire mid-ranger might not be the most exciting news in the world, the 820′s been holding out attention by way of the SoC expected to power the phone, one of Qualcomm’s new 64-bit Snapdragons. With just a week to go before the expo, that connection is really starting to firm up, and HTC just published ...

Smartphones with 64-bit SoCs are already here, and someday they’ll almost certainly outnumber phones built around 32-bit components. But between now and then there’s a huge gap, and it’s one that manufacturers have been slow to cross. Apple may have its 64-bit SoCs in full swing, but companies like Qualcomm have been taking their time; the firm announced basic 64-bit chips last year, and even ...

It’s a been a while now since we’ve had an announcement about new Exynos SoCs from Samsung. Back at MWC we were expecting the company to reveal a series of new 64-bit chips, but instead got the 5422 Octa and 5260 Hexa: interesting chips, sure, especially that six-core configuration, just not the specific components we were hoping to see. But now Samsung’s once again teasing the arrival of forthcoming Exynos news, with some sort of statement set to land tomorrow.We’re not picking up on ...
