Android Oreo was launched by Google last year which is the latest version of Android after the release of Android 7.1 Nougat and this also became the latest version of Android by Google. Apart from the release of Android Oreo, Google also released a new project along with the latest version of Android known as Project Treble. As far as Project Treble is concerned, it is the latest attempt from Google in order to speed up the process of software as well as security updates by third-party smartphone manufacturers or OEMs.
As far as Project Treble is concerned, we will try to explain the basics of Project Treble. First of all, it is a mandatory rule that any smartphone that is released with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box has to come with Project Treble support. In simple terms, Project Treble separates the Android OS framework from vendor implementations, allowing OEMs to directly update the framework which means there are no changes made to the OEMs customizations a.k.a skins like TouchWiz or LG UX or OxygenOS.
