Before anyone gets too excited, they're going to use RISC-V for watches and such (Wear OS), but it's still a big step towards having Android phones use RISC-V and major adoption. Maybe RISC-V is closer than we thought!

The Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A coming with Debian pre-installed, is arguably the first consumer RISC-V device.

Qualcomm has good reason to focus on RISC-V. I'm expecting them to bring out SoCs as soon as they can. And with the Nuvia team, they have the design prowess to produce some very performant silicon.
