On a day like today 8 years ago, Andy Rubin, Rich Miner and Chris White developed Android, the world’s most widely used operating system. Android 1.0 Apple Pie was the beginning of an alternative, fácil, efficient and free operating system with development possibilities.
A year ago we compiled what happened to Android in the first 7 years of its life, its versions, history and much more. Today, however, we leave the past and focus on the present, that is, How is Android today? What are your plans for the future? Join us!
Android’s birthday: its present and future
We’ll always be disappointed, like Project Ara, but Android hasn’t stopped evolving for a day. For 22 days it was in version 7.0 Nougat and it is present outside of teléfonos inteligentes: TVs, clocks, refrigerators, and cars are some examples of how far Android cánido go.
Therefore, Android today is much more than a mobile operating system. We perro see it for example with Project Tango, an initiative that has long been in the shadows to overcome a physical and virtual barrier. Hand in hand with Lenovo, the top class is expected shortly with a view to this project.
To continue his development, we need to look at his numbers. Willy-nilly, the latest report from google plus It clearly espectáculos a cracked android, but not exactly because it doesn’t want to. Android device manufacturers are responsible for:
- 35% of all Android phones run on Android 5.0 Lollipop
- Another 27% of the total have Android 4.4 KitKat installed
- 15.6% in jelly beans
- The penultimate version, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, is only 18.7%, although there are no details on Nougat yet.
However, everywhere Android is equally pushing iOS and all other operating systems for teléfonos inteligentes, where for example in Spain it cánido be said that 93.3% of the teléfonos inteligentes sold contain Android. Everywhere you look, Android just keeps growing, and we’re seeing Windows Phone die out and iOS staying more or less in line.
Looking to the future, Android has many open faces. Some are already talking about Android 7.1 Nougat and Android One, an Android project open to everyone, free and without modifications, could be on the verge of disappearing.
We also have good news, and that means that on October 4th we will have the Google plus Pixel and Pixel XL, the successors to the Nexus and some teléfonos inteligentes that seem more independent than ever. Specifically, it’s expected to be a “closer” Android, customized by Google plus to your liking..
As always, it is we and the entire huge developer community behind Android who must continue to support such an operating system. that progress never stops, bringing the best and purest strain into our hands. Who knows what Android will bring us in the future…
What do you think of the future of Android? What do you expect from him?
