- OnePlus has included Tango on the OnePlus 12 which is currently available in China.
- Tango is a 32-bit to 64-bit binary translator that improves compatibility for older apps, allowing 64-bit-only SoCs run these 32-bit apps.
- OPPO and OnePlus phones will use Tango to boost 32-bit app performance on older SoCs too.
The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 looks to be great, and we’re bound to see it featured on some of the best Android phones releasing in 2024. But the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the first 64-bit only SoC from Qualcomm, because of which older apps that have not been updated to run on 64-bit cores will not run on phones with this SoC. Companies like Xiaomi have added a translation layer to the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro to let them run 32-bit apps, and it seems OnePlus is also going down the same route with the OnePlus 12.
Android developer realMlgmXyysd revealed to us that the OnePlus 12 currently available in China also ships with the Tango Translator. Tango is a 32-bit to 64-bit binary translator that improves compatibility for older apps. This lets new phones with 64-bit-only SoCs run these older 32-bit apps without breaking their functionality or needing any other modification.
