Google announces the treble project to improve updates on android

That Android is the most widespread mobile operating system is something that no one doubts, however it is far from perfect and one of its biggest drawbacks is the lack of updates available for many terminals. Treble is a new project by Google that intends to improve the panorama of updates on Android.

Treble wants to fix the update problem

Nexus terminals have always been the first to have all the updates by drinking directly from Google, something very different from the rest of the models whose manufacturers have to work on the updates before they are available to users. The latter means that many smartphones never see a single update and that others are abandoned much sooner than they should.

This scenario is not the best for a market-leading operating system, so it was to be hoped that some solution would come out from Google, the recently announced Treble project comes to make Android updates faster, easier and less expensive for manufacturers. The idea is to turn Android into a "modular operating system" so that the framework code is separated from the specific hardware code of the companies.

Thanks to this, smartphone manufacturers have the option of making Android updates available to users by simply updating the OS framework and without having to do additional work beyond validating the user interface to verify that it works correctly.

We will have more details of Treble in the Google I / O, for now the idea looks very good, although we will have to see the interest of the manufacturers in providing the updates and leaving the terminals obsolete so that we can buy a new one.
