The latest version of the platform is now Android
14.
Oreo Android 8 introduced an Android flavor for low-end devices
the Go Edition. It aims devices with low RAM (1GB or
less), slow internet connections and lower-end CPU. It comes with
popular apps dedicated to this flavor: Gmail Go, Google Go, Maps
Go...
There was previously two flavors of the platform. One targeted
for small screens mainly mobile phones (all versions below 3.0),
and one dedicated for tablets: Honeycomb Android 3.0.
However not all Android tablets support this version (some tablets
use the Android 2.x).
These two variants of the platform have been merged to a
versatile and uniform platform since "Ice Cream Sandwich",
which has been released in October 2011. It combines
"Gingerbread" and "Honeycomb" versions in a
cohesive platform for tablets and phones at the same time.
Android 5.0 aka Lollipop target to be even more versatile to
target also smart watches, TV player, Car media center... device
with only 512 of RAM can support this new version.
Note: The market share figures could be find in Android
Studio's "Create New Project" wizard. They are based on API level,
so the percentage might gather several versions of the Android
platform.
The following comparison chart lists the main differences
between each version of the android platform using
the changelog of each version. Do not hesitate to contribute or
comment to make this comparison table as accurate as possible.
It is the first version to use Android 1.0's UI. It also adds many
of the sounds and ringtones found in 1.0, albeit mostly in stereo
as opposed to mono.
New touch-based ui The UI has been redesigned with updated icons, a
new look and feel, and a menu in the bottom-right. The menu shows
Contacts, Dialer, and an "All" button that shows all programs
installed. It is also the first build to include the notification
area, but sliding down from the top will show nothing but just the
white background with no text. It now supports SD card images up to
128GB. Most of the issues from m3-rc20a have been resolved. The
wallpaper settings is not final, so you will get an "Unsupported
action" message instead.
Compare versions: Android 13 vs Android 12, Android 11, Android Lollipop vs Android 4.4 KitKat vs Android 4.3 vs 4.1 Jelly Bean vs 4.0.3, 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich vs 3.1 Honeycomb vs Android 2.3 Gingerbread vs Android 2.2 Froyo...
Great Article.
I was unaware of the minor adjustments Android does to improve usability.
One of Android 13's most impressive additions is the ability for apps to shoot and preview HDR video material using the Camera2 APIs.
Consult ValueCoders if you're looking for Android application development.
The comparison of the Android versions are represented in a good manner and style, however, can some share the feature and functions of various Android TV OS versions such as Android TV 9.0, Android TV 10, Android TV 11 and Android TV 12.
That's a really good in-depth article about the different Android platforms available.
Love, love, love that you included all the features included in every new version. It really helps developers when they build apps to know which new features are introduced (and obsolete). Check out how much it takes to develop an app and you'll know why being on top of which Android version you are developing for is part of the puzzle. inspirevisual.com/...
I like your comparison, that was really interesting! I like to read authors who are not impartial. Sophia, I think that a lot of people heard about Flutter, but I do not agree with you. Yes, flutter is a cross-platform tool and it's very cool, you can read this webpage for more info madappgang.com/... but I also heard that it is hard to find a developer on flutter. You may develop an application, but after that, it will be hard to support it, fix bugs, etc. So this is a double-edged sword.
How do I know which Android OS will work best with the MyMatrix TV android box? I tried looking for it on their site but couldn't find any info on it......MyMatrixTV.com

API: basically it is the features a developer can use for their app. For a full description: wikipedia.org/...
API level is useful for developers to know which versions has the same global features set. It's also useful for market share as explained in the description (market share is based on the API level).
Je ne sais pas si c'est le cas sur tous les smartphones, mais sur le Samsung Xcover 2 ou GT-S7710, cette version est une vrai galère au niveau de la mémoire. Impossible de transférer les applications sur la micro SD. Du coup, on est vite saturé en mémoire. Inadmissible pour un smartphone comme celui-là. Il serait bien d'avoir une solution pour corriger ce problème.
Bonjour. Depuis que j'ai cette nouvelle version (4.1.2) j'ai un petit souci.
Quand j’écris un sms et que j'ai un mot qui n'éxiste pas sur mon téléphone il est impossible d'ajouter ce nouveau mot dans le dictionnaire interne de mon galaxy note GT-N7000.
Y'a t'il une solution car cela est très gênent.
merci d'avance
Dolphin has not supported Flash since about the time of Android 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, Or have they added it back? The Android devs had pretty horrid Flash support anyway. Felt like they just decided to give up trying to get their code right (was it beyond their skill level? who knows...but it's not there far as my last look.)
android is a software for tablet and phones, the platform is based on linux kernel. it can be modified by programmer and now it has many versions like gingerbread, ice cream sandwich, jelly bean, honeycomb, etc.

Nice comparison factors with all informative metrics. I hope Android 9 Pie will amaze users through its features and functionality.
Very nice list. I didn't even know about 0.9 Android) By the way, I have nice review about last 8 Android Oreo. Check it here: cleveroad.com/...
Can we use new version on Samsung Galaxy S4 sgh-m919 UVUAMDL ?
