Comment Codenames are no longer used to refer to Android versions, at least publicly. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:49, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Additional comment: The internal codenames are at least provided at the start of the article in the table. After that, they are not used. – The Grid (talk) 14:48, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Information about EOL for Android (February 2022)

There is a disagreement between me and The Grid about if information about latest security patch version and latest Google Play Services version should be stated within this article and I think there should be a general talk/vote about if the information is relevant or not. For easy comparisson here is The Grid's approach and my approach. I am personally fine with creating another subsection called "Support" in which these information are present but I think security patch levels and Google Play levels are too important for Android to just not state within this article.

The Grid's arguments for not including the info: "The info about the version support seems too much - it should just be a yes or no question" "outside the scope of Wikipedia" and "no other mobile OS history mentions security versions"

My arguments for including the info: The information about EOL is in the version history of all other major OS (see Windows 10 version history macOS version history or iOS version history) so it's definitely not to much or outside the scope of Wikipedia. While the operating systems like Windows, macOS and iOS change the version number to signal an update Android functions differently and states security patches level and Google Play Service levels as version indication which ridicules the argument that no other OS history mentions security version.

Please feel free to add to this so we reach a common ground which infos are relevant.--RM12 (talk) 08:44, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Android 9 maybe EOS

no more updates since January 2022 https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/ --83.135.146.154 (talk) 08:34, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes Android 9 reached EOS in January 2022. Looking at the table with expanded information a pattern becomes visible.--RM12 (talk) 10:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Snow Cone v2 is distributed as "Android 12.1"

In the General section of the article, Snow Cone v2 is referred to as Android 12, whereas in devices with this OS it is referred to as 12.1. 188.205.16.19 (talk) 17:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

The article states that rolling screenshots are a feature introduced in android 12. This feature is part of android 11. 2600:1007:B00B:3204:E09D:621E:BAB8:D452 (talk) 22:05, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The source you listed doesn't mention screenshots at all. FrederalBacon (talk) 22:12, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

This is not correct. Scrolling screenshots were not in the final Android 11 build, only in the beta previews. This feature didn't officially come out until Android 12. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:05, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
