Will Project Treble save Android's laughable update policy

i guess we'll know in 2020 when oreo devices will have any market penetration

its hilarious how this has gone

1. first it was terrible hardware
2. then we had a glut of overpowered phones trying to use ram to solve the jankiness of software
3. now that the software is good none of the phone companies want to update

nokia phones are getting an oreo update supposedly. if they do it before the end of the year Im gonna get one.

can you blame them, android development has been at standstill for several years now. unless you're excited by new emoji and superficial shit like that, last update that meant anything was 5.0, everything else was p much chair shuffling.

Samsung and others companies will always add hit software to the stock android.
If LineageOS was on every smartphone android would be even more popular (and appreciated).

>this is what basement-dwelling NEETs actually believe
Samsung was the first to implement multi-window and picture-in-picture. It took literally *years* for AOSP to catch up.

I'm pretty sure MediaTek will find a way to fuck this up for everyone.

>>62067355
Samsung is the exclusive reason android is popular.
You stockfags really need to head outside once in a while.

Some dumb fuck at samsung will say "vendor interface is not enough for us" and nothing will change. Same happened to A/B partition scheme.

It amazed me samsung is even number 1 android seller. It should be HTC.

And it took years to actually people still don't use it.

Temporarily replaced mom's S7 with my LG G2 running RR, she genuinely thinks it's more powerful.

It's impossible to say right now as information about how it's being accomplished hasn't been released. It could mean that the entire framework and everything above the vendor interface is just all the software that runs in user mode/privileged user mode, with the potential of all vendors now locking down everything that runs in kernel mode.

Isn't this already what Lineage OS sort've does?
They can dev current android for devices that the chipset vendor abandoned many android versions ago.
I mean for fucks sake even the Galaxy SII is getting Android O

How cute is your mom though?

But I though Android was going to be replaced by Fuchsia?

Fuchsia will replace Linux in Android.
