Android’s update situation is notoriously bad, with even flagship phones like the Galaxy series taking months for the latest feature updates to come out. Google hasn’t stood still on this though, and its hard work with Project Treble is starting to pay off.

众所周知，Android的更新情况很糟糕，甚至像Galaxy系列这样的旗舰手机也要花费数月才能发布最新的功能更新。 谷歌并没有对此保持立场，并且它与Project Treble的辛勤工作已开始获得回报。

什么是高音计划？ (What is Project Treble?)

Up until last year, building an Android update took much more effort. Here’s what had to happen with each update, no matter how small:

直到去年，构建Android更新都需要付出更多的努力。 不管多么小，这都是每次更新都会发生的事情：

• Google builds the new update and adds it to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository.

  Google会构建新的更新，并将其添加到Android Open Source Project(AOSP)存储库中。

• Silicon vendors like Qualcomm and MediaTek would add in and test code so that their processors would support the new software version.

  像高通和联发科这样的芯片供应商将添加并测试代码，以便他们的处理器支持新的软件版本。

• Hardware vendors like Samsung and LG add in and test code to support other hardware in the phone and their own software features.

  三星和LG等硬件供应商会添加并测试代码以支持手机中的其他硬件及其自己的软件功能。

Project Treble simplifies that a bit. Starting with phones that shipped with Android 8.0 Oreo, the silicon vendor code can be separate from the hardware vendor code. Instead of Qualcomm, MediaTek and other SOC-makers needing to write new drivers for each and every update, the driver interface can be used on newer versions of Android and still work. Samsung, LG, and other device manufacturers don’t have to wait for this code to start their work on the update, meaning it gets rolled out to consumers that much faster.

高音计画简化了一点。 从Android 8.0 Oreo随附的手机开始，芯片供应商代码可以与硬件供应商代码分开。 取代高通，联发科和其他SOC制造商需要为每个更新编写新的驱动程序，该驱动程序界面可以在较新版本的Android上使用，并且仍然可以使用。 三星，LG和其他设备制造商无需等待此代码即可开始更新工作，这意味着更新可以更快地推出给消费者。

It was optional for phones that were updated to Oreo to be compliant with Treble, but with Pie that goes away: every phone that receives an update to Android Pie must be compatible with Treble.

对于已更新为Oreo以符合Treble的手机而言，它是可选的，但随着Pie的消失，它：每个收到Android Pie更新的手机都必须与Treble兼容。

开始工作了 (It’s Starting to Working)

After a year of use, Project Treble is already starting to pay off: Google expects more devices to be updated to Android 9.0 Pie by the end of this year than were updated to Android 8.0 Oreo by the end of 2017. At the 2018 Android Dev Summit, Google showed off multiple phones from different hardware vendors that were able to run on the exact same Generic System Image (GSI).

经过一年的使用，Project Treble已经开始获得回报：Google预计到2017年底更新到Android 9.0 Pie的设备将比2017年底更新到Android 8.0 Oreo的设备更多。在2018年的Android Dev在峰会上，谷歌展示了来自不同硬件供应商的多部电话，这些电话能够在完全相同的通用系统映像(GSI)上运行。

Showing the GSI running on all these different phones is a great testament to how well Treble works, and application developers can use the GSI to test app compatibility with Android Pie on a device that hasn’t been officially updated by its manufacturer.

展示在所有这些不同手机上运行的GSI可以很好地证明Treble的运行状况，并且应用程序开发人员可以使用GSI在其制造商尚未正式更新的设备上测试其与Android Pie的兼容性。

That’s all well and good if you’re an app developer, but if you’re the average consumer it may be hard to care. But what it boils down to is this: it’s likely that your phone will receive a software update faster because some of the work to get that update out can be skipped. This also makes providing the update cheaper for the phone manufacturer, giving them more incentive to support older devices.

如果您是应用程序开发人员，那一切都很好，但是如果您是普通消费者，则可能很难在意。 但归根结底是：您的手机可能会更快地收到软件更新，因为可以跳过进行更新的一些工作。 这也使得为手机制造商提供更便宜的更新，从而使他们更有动力支持旧设备。

但这还不是完美的 (But it’s Still Not Perfect)

While these improvements are great, if fast updates are the most important factor for you, there are still only a handful of manufacturers to choose from. Google’s Pixel phones would be the fastest, but Android One phones like Nokia’s line aren’t far behind. We’ll see if the Treble improvements help any, but Samsung has a tendency to hold onto software updates until the next Galaxy S phone is released, which means users have to wait until Spring to see platform updates.

尽管这些改进很棒，但是如果快速更新对您来说是最重要的因素，那么仍然只有少数制造商可以选择。 谷歌的Pixel手机将是最快的，但像诺基亚的产品线一样的Android One手机也不甘落后。 我们将看看Treble的改进是否有帮助，但是三星倾向于在下一款Galaxy S手机发布之前一直保持软件更新，这意味着用户必须等到Spring才能看到平台更新。

While it’s not perfect, Project Treble has already made a big improvement in the Android ecosystem, and it’ll mean your phone gets updated that much faster!

尽管它并不完美，但Project Treble已经在Android生态系统中进行了重大改进，这意味着您的手机更新得更快了！
