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.
I remember seeing a lot of reporting referring to an NSA best practices guide recommending to reboot your phone weekly. They do not really go into much detail though. Either way, it definitely does not hurt to reboot.
