HTC Desire 510 Smartphone Could Be the First 64-Bit ARM Android Device

We’ve had 64-bit ARM servers for a few months, but the first consumer grade 64-bit ARM products should be smartphones, starting with HTC Desire 510. This entry-level / mid-range phone will feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 ARM Cortex A53 processor with 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, and a 4.7″ display with 854 x 480 resolution.

HTC Desire 510 runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with HTC Sense software including BlinkFeed and support for HTC’s Dot View case. I’m not even sure it’s running a 64-bit version of Android 4.4 (is there one?), so it will hopefully be upgrade to Android L in due time.

There’s currently no information about price, but it should be available soon. Other upcoming phones based on Snapdron 410 64-bit processor include Huawei G621, Lenovo A805e, and Samsung Galaxy Mega 2. Devices is more powerful ARM Cortex A57 cores should be available in 2015.

I’m wondering if 64bit ARM means the kernel will at least be able to work with a standard kernel, at least for the basic stuff.

I mean just like x86 where if you run the mainline kernel on a new CPU that it has no idea about it at least boots up to a certain point. I guess unified kernel without a device tree using ACPI are the technical terms ( if I got it right ).
