Dark Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Google and Qualcomm have teamed up to extend the Treble project to all devices that integrate a Snapdragon processor so that they have access to the latest updates to the Android operating system earlier, which will offer support for four years. The Treble project was introduced through Android version 8.0 in early 2017. It reorganizes the architecture of the operating system to combat market fragmentation and facilitate the arrival of updates to Android devices. The alliance between the two companies seeks to expand this project to more devices and enhance it with enhancements designed to "reduce the time and resources required for Snapdragon devices to update to the latest version" of Android. These improvements, as explained in a statement published by Qualcomm, would allow manufacturers that Android devices with a Snapdragon processor could update without modifying the chip's software and use the same branch of Android in more devices. This collaboration also means that Qualcomm will offer support for four versions of Android and four years of security updates for all mobile platforms that use Treble, starting with Snapdragon 888.
