Google stated that all Android smartphones will have to run KitKat or else they will not endorse the handset.
The Android memo is the first sign that Google is finally looking to solve the problem. Because Google offers hundreds of phones to customers from many manufacturers across the world, Google’s operating system is swiftly becoming fragmented.This issue is one of the top objections the operating system receives from application developers.
“Starting February 2014, Google will no longer approved GMS distribution on new Android products that ship older platform releases,”.
“Each
platform release will have a ‘GMS approval window’ that typically
closes nine months after the next Android platform release is publicly
available.”
Any
handset that does not get approval from Google Mobile Services (GMS)
will not be able to launch with Google’s main applications which include
Now, Maps and Google Play store.
By all this we come to know that thereis end of all budget Android phones? It could be! The Android handsets and increase the price of middle of the road smartphones. KitKat
also has higher minimum specifications than foregoing operating
systems. This may mean that phones like the Samsung Galaxy core are no
longer possible. It has been said that KitKat has been coded to work
better on lower powered smartphones. However, this could still have
enough of a knock on effect to possibly give the developing market to
opponents such as Mozilla’s FireFox and Tizen.
