How does this benefit the end user?

That the Google Pixel 7 series will be one of the best launched this year, there is no doubt, and even the Pixel 7a will exceed some of its specs, but we may have forgotten that we are facing the first Android-only phones with 64-bit system; as in PCs, that is, we are dealing with mobiles that use less memory, achieve better performance and offer greater security.

The first 64-bit Android-only mobiles

let them be first smartphones only 64 bits This means that they have dropped 32-bit based support, which brings improvements in different aspects that improve user experience.

Indeed, Google, through its blog, hopes that soon more mobiles will join the following ones only in 64 bits. At first glance, the benefits of a phone you use 64 bit system only is that you can use up to 150MB less RAM, more space to make ASLR more efficient (a memory space management feature), or even the ability to use the latest generation chips who 25% performance improvement when using this system instead of 32 bit.

There is also important information, which is that if Google wants manufacturers to bet only on 64-bit mobiles, other devices, such as dedicated to Android Go, Android TV and Android Wearwill remain in System 32, so they should continue to be supported.

There are more improvements, but they are related to app development for developers in order to identify memory errors or faster operating system updates.

That is to say, it is a much more stable system than 32-bit based oneand it is also curious that Google introduced it in 2014, so it took almost 10 years to launch the first 64-bit only mobile with the Google Pixel 7 series.
