Well friends, Android is better not to talk about it, really… The problem is that we have to do it, and that’s the problem Google plus and Android have a problem, a big problem that Apple is attracting attention again iOS 12 presentationand so trite that I’m sure you’ll know them all.
Of course we talk about it fragmentationthis monster from which Google plus’s mobile operating system has suffered almost forever and which has only grown in direct proportion to its arrival new Android versions, making more and more end devices obsolete worldwide and without official updates.
It’s not a fácil problem, there are many actors involved and many reasons why a terminal is not updated, and although Google plus has tried both actively and passivelynow with Project Treble, that’s the truth The fragmentation is still there and continues to be a disgrace to the scene.
In fact, it’s certainly difficult to provide a Solomonic solution without prohibiting manufacturers from customizing the system, but explaining it to users is even more difficult Android 5 Lollipop and Android 6 Marshmallowversions three and four years ago, Maintaining a distribution share of almost 50 percent among all Android devices activated worldwide since last May.
Android P will only deepen the wound although it is connected to the Pixel 3 and espectáculos a button: the list of devices coincidente with the Android P Beta contains only 9 terminals, all newly manufactured and including Andy Rubin’s Essential Phone, abandoned to its fate.

Apple teases updates for almost the entire Android catalog
Android is the big mole and safe Where else should Google plus work? Looking to the future, but not only Google plus, because The rest of the manufacturers have a lot to do under horrible conditions, the after-sales support of many devices.
And this time it wasn’t Nokia leading the way from within, but the criticism is coming from where it hurts the most. Apple gave Android the stickis in the iOS 12 presentation during WWDC 2018 after extracting part of the data Distribution of iOS 11, 81 percent no less among all iPhones going around the world.
This is devastating Android 8.0 Oreo comes in at just 6 percent of devices activated under the Google plus platform, and in this case we fear that the comparison is entirely objective.
It’s true that Apple has an advantage by controlling hardware and programa directly to iOS, and it’s true that Google plus offers the same level of support for its Pixel phones as it does for the entire Android One program. This is also true Android has a huge plant of very cheap terminals, mostly abandoned by manufacturers. But that’s no excuse…
very Samsung took several months to update its high-end teléfonos inteligentes, which sell for around €1,000, and that but an example repeated over and over again in Androidwhere most phones are no longer supported after two years.
Apple just announced that iOS 12 support for all devices that were already coincidente with iOS 11, which means giving Continuity with iPhones, iPads or iPods sold in 2013five years ago… This puts iOS light years ahead of Android in terms of after-sales support:

And a 2013 phone, would it be up to a modern version of Android?
Obviously we got into the usual enfrentamiento about the Apple devices almost unusable after an updateand it’s true that many older iPhones running iOS 10 or iOS 11 get too sluggish.
However, We recommend that Apple give its users the opportunity to choose if they want to update considering that performance may be affected, this policy is certainly the most appropriate as long as users have all the information to make the decision.
The truth is that on Android certainly A modern version of the system would hold up well in terms of power and performanceand Android Go pulls through the simplest of devices, always relying on users already knowing it’s a version ‘easy’ from the system.
However, there are other reasons why five-year support for an Android móvil would be almost impossible, and that’s it Component manufacturers don’t develop drivers that long for the hardware to work properly on newer versions of Android.
Probably yes We will not see a supported Android terminal for five years Just like Apple, it’s also likely that nobody’s móvil inteligente will last five years, and more likely No matter how many times we update the device, it would be almost unwieldy for his delay.
And despite all that, we want that the distribution gap of the new versions has closed a bit At least, and that means we choose the móvil we choose from the manufacturer, we perro count on reasonable support. One that doesn’t orinan waiting several months for new Android versions, don’t give up prematurely…
