There are 3,997 Android devices, the most Samsung Galaxy S2 users

Computer Store News In the past six months, OpenSignalMaps has collected data on more than 680,000 Android devices in 195 countries. The results are quite amazing: there are 3,997 different Android devices on the market. The problem that has always been a headache for developers: The Android version is too distracting.

As you know, the Samsung Galaxy S II is the most popular Android phone, ranking the 3,997 models. In March of this year, game developer Mika Mobile chose to abandon the Android platform because the cost and time of the Android platform was too high. Similarly, how does the developer ensure that all users have the same experience? Is it necessary to test 3,997 devices of different versions and different models one by one? This is an impossible task.

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said at this year's CES conference that please don't call this situation a disparate version. I suggest you consider it a version differentiation. Schmidt believes that the advantage of Android is that it can be relatively simple to set the niche community and price, also mentioned that each user will not encounter problems when using the same app. Schmidt's point of view may be too short, downloading and installing the app is one thing, but in fact, different hardware will produce a different user experience, which is why the Hong Kong mobile application developer Animoca added 400 The mobile phone is tested; the hardware is not the whole problem. According to the survey, the two most popular versions of Android users have dropped from 90% last year to 75%. This is also the most worrying issue for developers.
