Androidversion

Androidversion refers to the specific iteration of the Android mobile operating system. Google, the developer of Android, releases new versions periodically, each with a unique codename and often a numerical identifier. These versions introduce new features, performance enhancements, security updates, and user interface improvements.

Early versions of Android were codenamed after desserts, such as Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.0-2.1), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), and Honeycomb (3.0). Later, Google shifted to a more public approach, openly acknowledging the dessert names alongside their numerical versions, like Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), Jelly Bean (4.1-4.3), KitKat (4.4), Lollipop (5.0-5.1), and Marshmallow (6.0).

Following Marshmallow, Google transitioned to using only the numerical version number for public branding, though internal dessert codenames persisted for a while. Major releases include Android 7.0 (Nougat), Android 8.0 (Oreo), Android 9 (Pie), Android 10, Android 11, Android 12, and Android 13, with subsequent versions continuing the numerical progression. Each Androidversion is crucial for developers to target specific device capabilities and for users to experience the latest advancements in mobile technology. Device manufacturers then adapt these Android versions for their own hardware, leading to variations in user experience and feature availability across different smartphones and tablets.
