Xiaomi 14 series is one of the first smartphones to run on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The chip is powerful but has one major shortcoming: It doesn’t support 32-bit applications.
However, Xiaomi found a temporary solution to this problem with a dual 32-bit to 64-bit converter called Tango. This translator allows you to run 32-bit applications on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip without any problems.
This is great news for users who still rely on some 32-bit applications. This also means that other smartphone manufacturers can use Tango on their Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-based devices for backward compatibility.
Why is this important?
Google has been pushing developers to switch to 64-bit applications for a while now, and the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor does not support 32-bit applications either. But not all developers have made the switch yet. This means that a significant number of 32-bit applications are still available on the Google Play Store.
Without Tango, Xiaomi 14 series users would not be able to run these applications. This will be a serious inconvenience for many users.
How does Tango translator work on Xiaomi 14?
Tango is a binary converter. This means it converts 32-bit machine code to 64-bit. This allows 32-bit applications to run on 64-bit processors.
Tango is a very effective translator. It can translate machine code at runtime with minimal performance overhead. This means users shouldn’t notice any performance difference when running 32-bit apps on the Xiaomi 14 series.
Expert Mishaal Rahman confirmed that Tango is working properly and 32-bit apps like Flappy Bird can run on the Xiaomi 14 series.
Finally
It was a welcome relief when Xiaomi introduced Tango in the Xiaomi 14 series. This allows users to run their favorite 32-bit applications on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-based device.
It is also possible that other smartphone manufacturers will follow Xiaomi’s lead and implement Tango on their Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 based devices. This will be great for users as it will ensure compatibility with older apps on more devices.
