Android Oreo is the new version of the operating system Android, it being launched during this day by the well-known American company Google. We are talking about an update that can only be installed by an extremely small number of Android smartphone users, the Nexus and Google Pixel, the rest of the users having to wait for Android Oreo updates from the manufacturers.
However, Android Oreo comes with a possible solution for the problem, and this is the first major function that it takes from iOS under the name Project Treble. Android Oreo has implemented a system that allows Android smartphones to update their software via the Internet when an update is released by Google, iOS having this function available for several years.
Android Oreo doesn't come with anything new here, but the feature could put an end to the great fragmentation of smartphone and tablet software updates. Practically, this function of Android Oreo would allow all Android terminals to be updated when an update is released by Google, without users waiting for separate updates from manufacturers, 11 companies collaborating with Google on the project.
Android Oreo – 2 important functions taken from iOS
Android Oreo has another major change taken from iOS, because Google blocks the possibility of easily installing applications from unknown sources. If until now Android allowed this through a simple change made in the settings menu, starting with Android Oreo every app installed from an unknown app store will have to have the user's permission.
Android Oreo could become extremely annoying for a lot of people, but those from Google don't really have any ideas to combat the malware that has reached Google Play. The Google company is of the opinion that this change to Android Oreo will make users be more careful about the applications to which they grant permissions after installation in the terminals, so theoretically it should be much safer.
Android Oreo needed changes of this kind for some time, but they are not done exactly as they should by the Google company because they are not thought exactly like those in iOS. Google thought of the Android operating system as an open one, and this prevents it from being able to make Android Oreo much safer and easier to update, but probably in a few years there will be solutions for this as well.
