Google has a knack of teasing its software and OS through various beta programs. One of the pilot initiatives started by the company back in Google's I/O 2017 conference was 'Project Treble.'
The project based on the Android framework and it is mainly implemented to provide the device makers more independence for pushing Android updates to their various mobile devices. Based on that technology, Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based users have reportedly started getting updates of Android next OS now, possibly named as Android Q, in beta format.
According to XDADevelopers, Project Treble is basically the Generic System Image or what is known as GSI. It is generally a pure and unmodified form Android software based on AOSP. The beta update of Android Q, which has now been witnessed over AOSP platforms is thus unaltered with all its original features in making. The beta program for Android Q which has just been released is only testing purpose OS software for now and AOSP users can't modify or customize any of the features of this version for now.
As per another latest report by BGR, alongside the beta edition of Android Q, relevant hints for various exclusive features of the software have also started creating buzz among the analysts and the users. Among these, perhaps the most admired feature for now is a revolutionary multi-tasking feature.
Google already supports multi-window feature in various forms, and with the advent of Android Nougat in 2016, the company has redefined its multi-tasking attributes in its mobile platforms too. However, with the multi-window and split-screen features in Android Oreo, one could have witnessed two apps running in once but the real-time activities of the apps in a simultaneous manner was limited to a certain extent.
Android Q is said to break all those boundaries. The next-gen OS is reportedly bringing up a Multi-resume mode which will literally enable a mobile device to run multiple apps at a single point of time. The simultaneous running of two (or, even more apps) will be possible on Android Q without any delay or, restrictions.
Google has also recommended app developers to implement apps based on this architecture so that these can resume and be active simultaneously. Potential sources also suggested that the tech giant is looking forward to enabling this feature or anything similar to the attribute to Android Pie OS as well, in near future.
