Google will increase the pressure when it comes to Android updates. Smartphone manufacturers are slow to update to the latest version of Android and sending security updates. Something has to happen.
The slow rollout of Android updates by smartphone manufacturers is a known problem for Android as a platform. Not only have consumers will release the latest Android features, but mainly achieve security updates undue delay proper smartphones. Earlier, the Consumers already sued Samsung for these practices. That should better find Google. According to a report from Bloomberg Google increases the pressure on manufacturers and providers at least to roll out security updates faster, because this is the best for users.
Bloomberg talked to several parties who have been told by Google about the subject. The company requires, among other things that the manufacturers want to exempt the security updates from the long testing process, where normally all operating system updates must pass. The problem then is that if something goes wrong with the update, Google gets the blame.
Google has also made a list in which all the smartphone makers are ‘ranked on how up to date their handsets are. Google has this list was shared with some Android partners and even thinks to make the list public. This should motivate slow updaters to tackle the updates.
What does Google
Google makes himself more and more turn to make it easier to update. For example, by splitting parts of Android, so the most important updates can be rolled out to all Android devices without the intervention of the manufacturers. Google also makes sure that more and more apps that standard can be found in the Android operating system are delivered as individual apps in the Play Store. This allows the company to roll out updates to these apps without an update to the entire operating system.
