Telegram is a wonderful and feature-rich instant messaging application. Since Telegram client is open source, there are a lot of unofficial clients out there like Plus Messenger, Mobogram, etc. But Challegram is very different one among the unofficial clients. Challegram is super fast and looks more beautiful than the official Telegram. It uses TDlib other than MTproto. Now, according to some exclusive reports available to ibcomputing.com, this unofficial Telegram client called Challegram is going to be known as Telegram X for Android.

Update: Telegram officially announced the release of Telegram X for Android on 31/01/2018

History of Challegram

Vyacheslav Krylov started development of Challegram at the end of April 2015 to participate in a Telegram contest in which he won the first prize. One of the best things about Telegram for Android is that it is open source and anyone can download the source code and compile it in Android Studio easily with the help of guidance provided by Telegram itself. Not surprisingly, that client uses MTProto, which is the protocol officially established by Telegram. But Durov organized challenges to create experimental applications for implementing another Telegram library called TDLib. TDLib has many advantages like not having to deal with things like low-level encryption, transport layer, local database, etc. MTProto, as mentioned before, is an encryption protocol and is used in all apps or code that use official Telegram API.

With TDLib, Challegram has the potential to become the best Telegram app for Android (it already works faster in most cases than the official client, especially on old devices). But it is not yet possible to achieve those without missing some features and full local storage (TDLib caches fewer data between relaunches for now). All data transfer, file downloads, and uploads are significantly faster compared to the regular Android app.
