[benjaconb]

I have a query, currently motorola works with 32 bits in android. When android 8 release will still be 32-bit or will they go 64-bit?
Thanks for your clarification :good:

Yes we know. Motorola won't update from 32 bits because it needs file wipes.. and people will get mad if their phone gets wiped for a update they won't notice (for the majority of users)

Still it's 64bit ready. Custom roms are based on 64bit architecture. And i think i read somewhere that official oreo wil lbe 64bit. M1810, how do you know that it won't?

It is 64

I have an old Samsung s4 Mini running resurrection remix Android 8.1. I formatted my SD card to NTFS with a 64bit cluster size. The phone reads it fine.

Switching architectures requires the device to be wiped so officially it wouldn't make much sense if Motorola doesn't want consumers to have issues

Yea Yea. Heard that already. Why wipe is so scarry to people? They can't make simple backup? ;D

Average Joe would be angry if his phone would be wiped from all data even if he backed up.
Most people doesnt care about OS version as long as it does what it has to do.

Well. At least they should give us a choice 32bit and no wipe oe 64bit and wipe.
Will there be real difference in our case (g5s+ users) in performance between these two versions? I will have a problem with choosing custom rom based on original 32b or 64b(which can't be based on future stock ?) in the future.

And we would have to wait twice as long for developers to make both 32 and 64bit for few people to chose 64 bits. Genius.
