Maybe we can benefit from this in 2 or 3 years? I'm very pessimistic... it takes LOOOOOOONG before vendors will look into Android O and the interfaces and the first generation benefiting from this will be earliest Android P updates. And do not forget: This whole process does not reduce testing time and the carriers might also look for long testing on updates ;)
- Jabbles 9y agoIt sounds like the vendor abstraction layer will make things a lot simpler for manufacturers and vendors, so the cost savings alone should tempt them. I'm not sure, but couldn't this benefit vendors/manufacturers/users upgrading to O? Also, remember that manufacturers have probably known about this for a while.
- cpeterso 9y agoAn improved vendor abstraction layer might make porting easier but it still doesn't provide any incentive for vendors to actually update old devices. :(
