It is true that manufacturers are partly to blame for the fragmentation that exists in Android right now, the truth is that the update rate of devices with Google's operating system does not help anything either. Now it seems that the issue is getting more serious and the signature of Mountain View announces news about the new launches of devices with Android.
These news are important for the smartphone sector that wants to use their operating system and it seems that as of March it seems that all new devices that want to be certified by Google, they should launch with Android Oreo. This is what you can read in the forum XDA Developers.
All new terminals with Android Oreo
This can be a real blow to the table to prevent manufacturers from further fragmenting the market and is that if they do not receive the certification of the company they could not use Google Play services (Fix problem Google Play services has stopped) and therefore the applications we have on these devices. The arrival of this Android Oreo version makes devices list on Project Treble.
It is possible that all this will push manufacturers in this year 2018 to try harder and launch all the terminals with the version they play, but it is difficult to run it depends on which smartphone in this version of the Google operating system and therefore we believe it could a blow to some of them. We will see how the issue progresses but it is really important that everyone get ready in this regard and that is It may not be that new devices hit the market with Android 7 today, we will closely follow this news.
