Google intends to release Android Q for testing on all smartphones with Project Treble
Three months after the officialization of Android 9 Pie, Google is already thinking about the next version of its operating system. The company's intention is to release Android Q for testing on all devices compatible with Project Treble.
During a keynote speech at the Android Developer Summit, a project team developer, Hung-Ying, explained that the future edition of the company's mobile platform may have a generic system image (GSI) - without manufacturer's modifications - made available by AOSP. It would only require Treble support.
In practice, this would allow users to experience Android Q without having to join the Mountain View giant's testing program. It would only need the unlocked bootloader, and the installation would be done as a custom ROM.
With more people testing the future edition of the operating system, the company could collect more feedback from users, which would make it easier to fix bugs and improve the platform. You can check in this link the list of which old smartphones have gained compatibility with Project Treble.
The announcement of Android Q in its developer version is expected for the first half of 2019. However, there is still no date confirmation from Google or about the availability to Project Treble users.
