Android Pie Accounts for 22.6% of the Ecosystem Thanks to Project Treble: Google

Oct. 24, 2019

Google on Wednesday claimed its Project Treble is having the desired result in helping more Android vendors roll out timely updates to their devices. In itsofficial blog post, the company said that the biggest evidence of change lies in the increased adoption of Android Pie, which reportedly accounted for 22.6 percent of the ecosystem at the end of August, making it the biggest major version of Android in circulation.

Google also praised its partner OEMs for issuing fast software updates to their respective Android devices. Singling out Xiaomi, Essential and OnePlus for special praise, the company pointed out that they either rolled out the Android 10 update to some of their devices or announced beta programs for their flagshipson the same daythe software was released to AOSP.

“In addition to these partners, many manufacturers such as ASUS, LG, Motorola, OPPO, Realme, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Transsion, and Vivo have committed to updating some of their devices to Android 10 by the end of the year”, said the company. Overall, while the Android update schedule has, no doubt, improved in relative terms, it still remains fractured and chaotic for the most part, and Google will have to keep working to make timely updates more of a norm than an exception.
