WEBVTT 00:00.120 --> 00:08.970 Android is a Linux based mobile operating system developed by Google, so it serves as its mobile operating 00:08.970 --> 00:09.360 system. 00:10.290 --> 00:16.950 Today, the platform is the foundation for a wide variety of modern technology, such as mobile phones 00:16.950 --> 00:21.150 and tablets, wearable tech TVs and other smart devices. 00:22.650 --> 00:28.560 Typical Android build ship with a range of preinstalled apps and support the installation of third party 00:28.560 --> 00:32.280 apps through the Google Play store and other marketplaces. 00:33.330 --> 00:41.220 It's free, it's open source, and it's source code is known as Android Open Source Project, which 00:41.220 --> 00:44.550 is primarily licensed under the Apache license. 00:46.040 --> 00:55.280 Android OS is divided into various version numbers, implying significant jumps and features operation 00:55.280 --> 00:58.670 and stability, which usually have code names. 01:00.300 --> 01:07.110 The history of Android begins in October 2003, well before the term smartphone was widely used and 01:07.680 --> 01:12.420 well several years before Apple announced its first iPhone and iOS. 01:13.970 --> 01:22.250 In 2005, the next big chapter, Android's history began when the original company was acquired by Google. 01:24.350 --> 01:31.790 And of course, in 2007, Apple launched the first iPhone and ushered in a new era in mobile computing 01:32.600 --> 01:33.260 at that time. 01:33.560 --> 01:38.060 Google was still running on Android in, well, secret. 01:39.430 --> 01:45.970 So that year, the company slowly began to reveal plans to compete with Apple and other mobile platforms 01:46.570 --> 01:53.650 and the public made of Android Version 1.0 launch for developers on November 5th, 2007. 01:55.820 --> 02:05.030 By September 2008, the very first Android smartphone was announced, the T-Mobile G1, also known as 02:05.060 --> 02:07.190 the HTC Dream. 02:08.150 --> 02:09.350 In other parts of the world. 02:11.720 --> 02:18.890 The first official generic code name for Android didn't appear until the one point five cupcake release 02:18.890 --> 02:22.060 was released in April of 2009. 02:24.110 --> 02:29.990 Now, naming Android versions after sweet candies and sweets traditionally belonged to Ryan Gibson, 02:30.740 --> 02:32.840 the project manager at Google. 02:33.770 --> 02:39.920 I don't know if you're like me, but I can certainly whet my appetite during Android versions, but 02:39.920 --> 02:43.910 I'm going to continue to list him and maybe grab some snacks along the way. 02:44.420 --> 02:51.620 But I'm sorry if it if you're somewhere where you won't be able to, well, imbibe. 02:52.640 --> 02:57.440 But anyway, Google quickly launched Android one six Donut. 02:58.410 --> 03:00.540 In September 2009. 03:01.500 --> 03:09.030 So the new OS now offered support for carriers using CDMA based networks, and this allowed Android 03:09.030 --> 03:12.110 phones to be sold by all carriers around the world. 03:14.720 --> 03:23.600 In October 2009, Google released Version 2.0 of the OS with the official code name Éclair and one of 03:23.600 --> 03:25.110 my favorites, I must say. 03:26.090 --> 03:35.180 So this version was the first to add text to speech support and also introduce live wallpapers, multiple 03:35.180 --> 03:41.600 account support and Google Maps navigation, among many other new features and improvements. 03:42.780 --> 03:48.230 Android to not to Froyo was officially launched in May of 2010. 03:49.430 --> 03:58.250 Now, Dalvik git compiler that compiles bytecode into native machine code at runtime was added to Froyo. 03:59.300 --> 04:05.510 So it also has several new features, including Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot functions and push notifications 04:06.140 --> 04:12.260 via the Setu DRM service or Android cloud to device messaging service. 04:13.520 --> 04:16.850 Of course, flash support and some of the things. 04:18.740 --> 04:28.580 Now, Android two to three Gingerbread was launched in September of 2010, OS received a user interface 04:28.580 --> 04:30.620 refresh under gingerbread. 04:31.530 --> 04:38.220 That is support for using near field communication or NFC functions for smartphones with the required 04:38.220 --> 04:38.850 hardware. 04:41.710 --> 04:50.830 By February 2011, Honeycomb was introduced, it was created for tablets and other mobile devices with 04:50.830 --> 04:52.000 larger display. 04:54.220 --> 05:01.300 And then another of my favorites, Ice Cream Sandwich, was released in October 2011, it included a 05:01.300 --> 05:06.970 favourite's on the home screen, along with the first support for unlocking a phone by using its camera 05:06.970 --> 05:08.890 to take a picture of its owners face. 05:09.830 --> 05:16.220 A kind of biometric sign in support has evolved and certainly improved considerably since. 05:18.150 --> 05:25.900 The jelly bean era of Android began in June of 2012 with the release of Android 4.0 one. 05:27.110 --> 05:33.170 There are new notification features that display more content or action buttons, along with full support 05:33.170 --> 05:36.050 for the Android version of Google's Chrome Web browser. 05:37.920 --> 05:44.190 Android four, not four, is the first version of the OS, it actually used a previously trademarked 05:44.190 --> 05:45.720 name for a piece of candy. 05:47.660 --> 05:54.260 Kit Kat officially launched in September 2013, and it was optimized to run on smartphones, it had 05:54.440 --> 05:57.410 as little as 512 megabytes of RAM. 05:58.380 --> 06:04.860 So this allowed phone makers to use the latest version of Android on much cheaper handsets. 06:08.080 --> 06:14.860 Then Android 5.0 or Lollipop launched in the fall of 2014. 06:16.580 --> 06:22.670 The Android runtime became the default runtime for devices running Android 5.0 and higher. 06:23.870 --> 06:30.590 So Android 5.0 Lollipop is also a major shakeup in in the overall look of the operating system. 06:31.560 --> 06:37.350 It was the first version of the OS that used Google's new material design language. 06:39.070 --> 06:44.760 The fall of 2015, Android six, not zero Marshmallow was released. 06:45.810 --> 06:52.050 It included features such as native support for fingerprint, biometric unlocking, USB type C support, 06:52.560 --> 06:56.370 the introduction of Google Pay and oh, so much more. 06:59.090 --> 07:05.650 Version seven zero of a Google's mobile operating system launched in the fall of 2016. 07:06.730 --> 07:12.670 Android Newgate supported the Volcan API for faster 3D rendering. 07:16.340 --> 07:24.590 In March 2017, Google announced and release the first developer preview for Android Oreo to impact 07:24.590 --> 07:30.050 in lots of visual changes into the Settings menu, along with native support for picture in picture 07:30.050 --> 07:37.130 mode Notification Channel's new autofill APIs for better management of passwords and filled data. 07:37.370 --> 07:39.290 And again, a whole lot more. 07:41.970 --> 07:47.790 On August six, 2018, the company officially launched the final version of Android nine Donziger, 07:48.660 --> 07:51.600 giving it the official code name of PI. 07:52.570 --> 07:59.410 Android nine died zero, PI included some new features designed to help extend your smartphones, battery 07:59.410 --> 07:59.860 life. 08:00.930 --> 08:07.920 Now, that was achieved with the use of on device machine learning, which predict which apps you're 08:07.920 --> 08:11.070 going to use now and which you won't use until later. 08:13.180 --> 08:16.240 On August 22nd, 2019. 08:18.090 --> 08:23.670 Google announced a major refresh of the Android brand, and that included. 08:24.740 --> 08:31.000 A new logo and more importantly, the decision to ditch the traditional desert name for the next version. 08:31.910 --> 08:35.000 So as a result, I go without dessert. 08:35.240 --> 08:39.830 An Android queue is officially known just as Android 10. 08:40.760 --> 08:46.790 Android 10 had a number of new features and improvements, as well as a number of new APIs. 08:48.040 --> 08:53.830 And that included support for the rush of then upcoming foldable phones. 08:55.530 --> 09:02.810 Then, of course, finally, the final version of Android 11 was launched on September 8th of 2020. 09:04.150 --> 09:10.870 Now, Android 11 has arrived with plenty of new features, and that includes a new conversations notification 09:10.870 --> 09:15.990 category where all of your chats from various apps are collected in one place. 09:17.110 --> 09:23.970 You also have the option to save every notification that has appeared on your phone in the last 24 hours. 09:25.110 --> 09:31.110 A brand new feature lets you record your phone screen, complete with audio, without needing a third 09:31.110 --> 09:31.770 party app. 09:32.550 --> 09:38.600 There's also a new section of Android 11 dedicated to controlling smart home devices. 09:38.640 --> 09:40.230 It's come a long way, baby.
