Supported Android versions

Google has released its latest big update called Android 11 “R” , which is rolling out now to the firm’s Pixel devices, and to smartphones from a handful of third-party manufacturers.

With the release of Android 10, Google has stopped support for Android 7 or earlier . This means that no more security patches or OS updates will be pushed out by Google and Handset vendors as well.

The current operating system version of Android, Android 10, as well as both Android 9 (‘Android Pie’) and Android 8 (‘Android Oreo’) are all reported still to be receiving Android’s security updates.
