IN UPCOMING
ANDROID 7.0 i.e NOUGAT, GOOGLE WILL INTRODUCE THE CHANGE IN ITS UPDATE PROCESS.
IT IS REFERRED AS SEAMLESS UPDATE. THROUGH HIS METHOD, THERE
WILL BE LESS INTERRUPTION TO THE USER DURING UPDATING THE SMARTPHONE.
SEAMLESS UPDATE WORKS BY USING TWO PARTITIONS: AN ACTIVE
SYSTEM PARTITION AND A DORMANT PARTITION, WHICH ARE IMAGES OF EACH OTHER. OTA
UPDATE IS DOWNLOADED IN ACTIVE PARTITION AND OTA UPDATE IS INSTALLED IN DORMANT
PARTITION. AFTER REBOOT, DORMANT PARTITION BECOME ACTIVE SYSTEM PARTITION AND
VICE VERSA . THROUGH THIS PROCESS, NEW UPDATE IS APPLIED.
ADVANTAGES OF SEAMLESS UPDATES
1.
FASTER UPDATE OF SMARTPHONE.
2.
DORMANT PARTITION SERVES AS BACKUP.
3.
BETTER HANDLING OF UPDATE FAILURES.
THIS SEAMLESS UPDATE WILL ONLY
WORK WITH PRE-INSTALLED NOUGAT ANDROID SMARTPHONE.
