The Pixel 10 will have faster startup performance thanks to this Android change

Google is making a change to Android’s early boot process that speeds up how quickly modules are loaded, making the Pixel 10 boot faster.

TL;DR

Google is working on a change to Android’s early boot process that improves how quickly kernel modules are loaded.
This change has resulted in a 30% reduction in loading time for the Pixel 10, according to a Google engineer.
As a result of this change, the Pixel 10 and other Android devices should boot up slightly faster, though it’s unclear how much of a difference it’ll make.

This change is in AOSP. So, should be accessible in future updates to other phones.
- Yup I would also expected this to be honest.
Ok but when was the last time you turned your phone off? Even reboots are few and far between
- Weekly reboot is recommended to knock off some memory recident nasties and trackers and clean up memory.
  
  Any references for that? First I hear of it.
  
  Not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to read up about it. I basically never reboot my phone, never had issues.
- I rebooted mine yesterday for a security update.
- About every 3 days or it gets wonky.
  
  Newly setup too, about 2 months ago, Android 13
