Recently I've been researching to try and understand Android OTA software updates and have found some great info on the Android source wiki about both A/B updates and traditional ones:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/
Specifically, why is it reported in the Pixel partiton sizes table:
that "Pixel's A/B system image is half the original non-A/B system image".
According to this the net size is the same as in A/B a system partition of size 2048 MiB is needed for each partition, and for non-A/B it is 4096 MiB. Are these functionally the same in that there are two sets of system files with one for recovery, or is there something else going on here?
