Smartphones Since the advent of Android in 2008 in all areas boomed. Monitors have become considerably larger screen resolutions have reached unprecedented heights, camera resolutions smartphones do not include digital (SLR) cameras, processors are as fast or faster than computers or laptops, and smart phones have become as productive as a computer or a laptop.
In the past seven years, Google has no fewer than 22 versions of Android released. Version 23 is available later this month. On September 29, Google will be releasing most likely Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Cross-device platform
Since the advent of Android, Google has its Android operating system so far developed the operating system now on more than just smartphones can run. Last year, Google presented during its I / O conference also Android for cars, televisions, and wearables. Thus Google now also has the Android Car ‘, a version of Android for car entertainment systems, “Android Wear,” a version of Android for so-called’ wearables’ as smart watches, and Android TV, a version of Android specifically for televisions.
Reverse
The success and development of Android also has its dark side. Since the Android operating system has become so large and complex, the operating system does not run fast enough and stable enough more on cheaper smartphones. This obviates Google now with Android One, which is actually a “stripped down” and “optimized” version of Android.
Symbian and Windows Mobile pushed
Android operating system has become so popular in seven years that are currently running at 85 percent of all smartphones. In the time that Android came on the market, Symbian and Windows Mobile operating system were still reigns supreme in the smartphone market. Apple’s iOS operating system was presented a year earlier and was already working on the demolition of both operating systems.
Today distribute Android and iOS almost the entire smartphone market. The new Windows Phone has to settle for third place with a share of only 2.7 percent. All other smartphone operating systems have virtually no chance of survival because of the enormous dominance of Android and iOS.
