-

Over the last couple of months, several devices have received official LineageOS 16 builds. These builds not only give older devices a new lease on life but also give users the chance to experience Android 9 Pie on their devices. Thanks to this, users with devices like the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active, Moto X (2014), and LG G3 can now enjoy all the new features Google introduced in Android Pie. Now, the LineageOS team has extended support for a few more devices and has released official Android 9 Pie-based builds for the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2, ZenFone 3, Yandex Phone, Galaxy S3 Neo, Redmi Note 4X, Xperia Z3 Compact, and the Moto G7.

Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2

The ZenFone Max Pro M2 is one of the best budget handsets to come out of Asus’ stable. While the company has officially released an Android 9 Pie build for the device, in case you’re not satisfied with the stock ROM you’d be glad to know that the LineageOS team has now officially announced support for the device. Currently, there are no LineageOS 16 builds for the device, but you can check the download page linked below to find new builds as they go live.

The ZenFone 3 from 2016, which was only upgraded to Android 7 Nougat, has also received official support for LineageOS 16. The latest builds for the device bring all of Android Pie features to the dated device and offer a near-stock Android experience with plenty of customization options.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

In case you have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact lying around, you can now breathe new life into the device thanks to this LineageOS 16 build. The device, which launched back in 2014, was only upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, so it’s great to see developers adding Android 9 Pie support for such a date device.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer.

Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
