This is the file extension format. The .img file is the actual raw partition data. The .xz extension means the file is highly compressed to save download bandwidth. You must unpack it before flashing. How to Flash the Image
Because the kernel is 64-bit, the Android Binder (the inter-process communication mechanism) operates in 64-bit mode. However, because the OS environment is 32-bit, standard 64-bit GSIs will not boot, and standard 32-bit GSIs (which expect a 32-bit binder) will crash instantly.
: Denotes support for A/B (Seamless) Updates . This means the device uses a partition layout where updates are installed in the background on a secondary slot, allowing for fast, reliable updates.
