Android’s Fragmentation – Still A Problem For Android Developers

Posted on by Jay

android1Google’s Android possesses a major flaw in its OS development, which is a fragmentation issue. For this reason, one android OS version still remains isolated from other androids OS version.

It offers a wide range of hardware and software options for the developers, which in turn increases the time of development and causes complications for application design.

From the latest survey of devices in the last two weeks, Google found that only 10% of android owners are running the latest version of the OS, and almost half (47%) are still using “Gingerbread” i.e. the version 2.33.

Android Developers have been challenged by Android’s open nature from the beginning. In addition, the release of OS updates to all the available hardware is dependent on a wide range of sources.

For such reasons, Android developers have now targeted their Android application development for devices that run the Gingerbread platform and later, which is now on over 80% of Android devices.

Mobile Developers have faced even the worse fragmentation issues during the early days of development. With numerous hardware variants, developing an app for a group of devices was almost impossible.

With Android, the fragmentation issue is more troublesome because of the advanced features which only a fraction of devices support it. This situation continuously drives the developers to focus on the hardware-specific abilities of smartphones.

There is also Samsung Galaxy S3 which was launched recently in May 2012 and available at most of the Smartphone vendors. So which one are you choosing? Apple has witnessed doubled pre-orders for its new iPhone after the launch although critics don’t think Apple came up with a revolutionary iPhone as expected. Rather they praise the Galaxy S3 which has some improved features as compared to iPhone 5. So let’s make a comparison between the two and you judge.

Here you go:

Galaxy S3:

P.S: iPhone 5 screens looks pretty big with quality media playback and gaming. Apple once stated that its iPhone size is the standard size for a Smartphone. But later proved wrong by companies like Samsung and HTC, Apple itself increased the size of its iPhone.

Size and Weight:

Galaxy S3:

4.69 ounces(133 grams); 8.6 mm thick

iPhone 5:

20 grams lighter weighing 3.95 ounces (112 grams); 7.6 mm thick
