Google’s latest Platform Versions data has been updated overnight, giving us our regular, very exciting (yes really) look at how the various versions of Google’s OS are represented out there in the real world. The stats are generated by monitoring connections to the Play Store, this time covering the fortnight ending August 1st.
And the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android is the big mover this month, rocketing up from running 11% of Android devices last month to 15.9% this, thanks mainly to, we’d imagine, the vast numbers of Galaxy S III phones Samsung’s been shifting around the world.
However, over 60% of all Android users out there are still working with the 2.3 version of the OS on their mobiles and tablets, which must be a little frustrating for some.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
