What about MediaTek SoC like Helio G90T that you can find in cheap smartphones like Redmi Note 8 Pro ?
If MIUI is running Android 9 , it's because MediaTek update their SDK.
I don't know , and maybe you can enlighten me about this , but are MediaTek recent SoC more expansive than 2 years old Samsung mid-range SoC ?
The thing is , MediaTek , like Qualcomm and Rockchip are brand that only make SoC , while Samsung (Exynos) , Huawei (Kirin) ... are in a variety of market.
Few devices are using Exynos & Kirin , comparing to MediaTek , Qualcomm and Rockship.
So you have better chance of having a up-to-date SDK with manufacturer like MediaTek or Qualcomm than Samsung or Huawei , this is why i said it was a bad choice for choosing Exynos.
These mobile phone manufacturers are targeting millions of customers, not a few hunderd or thousand, so you cannot go to these chip manufacturers and ask for support + 1000 chips. For a small company with a niche market that doesn't work. If it would work, Samsung would already support FiiO for bringing Android 9 to their platform. That is the problem, not that FiiO is not willing to do it.
Just had a look at G90T:
CPU Type(s): Arm Cortex-A55, Arm Cortex-A76
Max CPU Frequency: 2.05GHz
Cores: Octa (8)
CPU Bit: 64-bit
So you want a DAP manufacturer to uses that kind of a monster of a SoC in their design so you can run, what? UAPP???
