Leaked that Pixel 9 will be upgraded to Linux kernel 6.1 with “RUST” language | Smartphone summary

Talking about the next generation of smartphones from Google, it is the Pixel 9 series, including the Pixel 9 and Pixle 9 Pro.

If all goes as usual, it will be announced and released around October of this year, and the series will be equipped with Tensor G4, Google's fourth generation chipset.

Meanwhile, some interesting but slightly geeky information has been leaked regarding the system language of the Pixel 9 series.

Mishal Rahman, known as a contributor to several popular third-party tool sites like Android Police and Android Authority, reported the information he found in the AOSP file.

According to this, in Android V (i.e. Android 15), first,Some Pixel phones will upgrade to Linux 5.15 and later to Linux 6.1He said.

Additionally, the Pixels with Tensor G1 and G2 currently run on Linux 5.10, and the Pixels with Tensor G3 appear to run on Linux 5.15, so it's currently unclear which Pixels will be eligible for the upgrade to version 6.1.

Just,At least the next-gen Pixel 9 series will be released with Linux 5.15, but it looks like it will be upgraded to 6.1 later.He is.

According to him, large-scale kernel upgrades are rarely performed on Android smartphones, even on Google smartphones.

Since my programming knowledge is almost non-existent, I don't really know what changes will happen by upgrading to Linux kernel 6.1.

On the other hand, it is available from ZDnet and Wikipedia, but in Linux kernel 6.1“Rust, a multi-paradigm programming language designed for performance, memory integrity, and secure concurrency, will replace C and C++.”There is no doubt that performance at least in terms of security will improve.

Also, according to Rahman, one of the main benefits of upgrading the major kernel version is that it enables long-term support in the future.

As you know, Google promises seven years of OS and software update support for the Pixel 8 and later models.

Maybe a kernel upgrade will make this possible.
