I. What is Google Chip Registration, and Why Should We Care About the Chip Platform's Google Android GMS Certification?

During the GMS certification process for smart devices, whether it's EDLA, MADA, or TADA certification, the very first step is to fill out an application and submit it to Google. Google will verify the submitted information, which involves various details about the device.

This information includes product model, brand, dimensions, appearance, target shipment regions, and, most importantly, the chip model. Specifically, you need to declare which chip your device uses and its corresponding Android version. The chip you use must already exist in Google's GMS certification system.

If the chip you use cannot be found in Google's system, you must apply for chip registration. Once the chip is successfully registered in Google's system, you can proceed with the GMS certification for your device.

Deeplight has successfully assisted in registering chip platforms in Google's system. As shown in the example below, the critical information includes "CPU Make" and "CPU Model."On the homepage, you can select the chip platform, and the drop-down menu allows you to check a certain incoming model.

II. What Factors Does Google Consider for Chip Registration?

Google has strict requirements for manufacturers seeking to register their chips. Currently, the chips used in most mainstream GMS-certified devices are primarily from Qualcomm, MediaTek, Rockchip, and Spreadtrum.

Google evaluates the manufacturer’s scale, experience in Android development, the maturity of the chip, and the potential contribution of the chip to increasing Android‘s market share. Additionally, Google considers factors such as chip performance, security, software support, and market competitiveness.

III. The Timeline for Google GMS Chip Registration

For chip companies that already have a record of registration with Google, the process is relatively fast and typically takes around two to three weeks. However, for companies with no prior registration history with Google, the timeline can be much longer, generally requiring two months or more.

IV. What Documents Are Needed for Google GMS Chip Registration?

1. Detailed specifications of the chip, such as chip model, maximum CPU/GPU speeds, the number of CPU/GPU cores, etc.

2. Test reports from devices using the chip, including results from running GMS certification tests.

3. Information about the applicant company‘s website, types of devices using the chip, and potential shipment volumes.
