Engineers of Android O to hold Reddit AMA

The engineering team behind Android O is giving fans and everyone else a chance to ask their burning questions ahead of the public release of the new Android mobile operating system at an upcoming Reddit AMA. The page is already up and it makes it clear that the engineers will only answer questions related to the engineering of the OS and not whether Android O stands for Android Oreo or something. We can expect them to be asked about Project Treble, though, which is seen as the company’s way to reduce fragmentation between Android devices made by different manufacturers. Theoretically, it’ll let companies update Android devices quicker without having to go through their chip partners. Google has previously said new devices coming out with Android O out of the gate get full Project Treble treatment.

A new developer preview of the OS is expected to come out ahead of the official release of Android O before the end of September. If you’re interested in the AMA, it’s going to start on Wednesday, July 19 at 12:00 PM PST (3:00 PM EST) and will continue for an hour and a half.
