I am happy that google has introduces new framework where manufacturer can update OS very easily & test with new OS. > The Android 8.0 release includes Project Treble. > Android OS framework designed to make it easier, faster, and less costly for manufacturers to update devices to a new version of Android. > Treble separates the vendor implementation (device-specific, lower-level software written by silicon manufacturers) from the Android OS framework via a new vendor interface. > Android 7.x and earlier, no formal vendor interface exists so device makers must update large portions of the Android code to move a device to a newer version of Android > With Treble, a new stable vendor interface provides access to the hardware-specific parts of Android, enabling device makers to deliver new Android releases simply by updating the Android OS framework—without any additional work required from the silicon manufacturers For details on the new T...
