Does your Android device support Google’s Project Treble for quicker and easier software updates? Check out this list of Project Treble supported devices and find out!
Android is a versatile OS and offers enormous possibilities to explore the bits of it. However, we have constantly observed the delays that some manufacturers take to push out the latest software update for their devices. Often, several of these devices lose update support even before the pre-defined timeline. After years of feedback and upset users due to such behavior of the OEMs, Google took a definitive step last year with Android Oreo. The tech giant announced Project Treble that’d help manufacturers to roll out software updates more quickly and easily. According to Google, every Android smartphone that comes with Android Oreo must include support for Project Treble. To find out if your phone supports it, go through the list of Project Treble supported devices.
The implementation, however, is not yet widely accepted as some manufacturers still chose to release devices without Treble support. Of course, these devices also don’t come with Android Oreo out-of-the-box.
So how exactly do Treble influence Android OS updates? — The new implementation simply separates the Android OS framework from the vendor code. Which means, manufacturers can easily update the framework and push the new update to the devices, without having the need to rework the vendor-side code. The image below will give you a much clear idea of what we are talking about here.
On the other hand, Project Treble compatibility also holds significant importance within the Android developer community. That’s because users can easily install Generic System Images compiled from the AOSP code on their device. Which means, it would not be necessary to compile custom ROMs for every device individually. We have already talked about phh-Treble – an AOSP-based build compiled for Project Treble supported devices.
We are just scratching the surface here. Project Treble has the potential to bring some major benefits to the Android development scene.

I m using Oppo F7…is it supports google treble ???
And if it supports how do i get updates from google directly????
Since the Oppo F7 comes with Android Oreo, then it comes with support for Project Treble as well, according to Google’s requirements.
As for the updates, only the manufacturer can roll out updates. Google does not push updates for Oppo since it uses the ColorOS skin.
