Crossposted from /r/android for /u/geegeedee

We have tried to keep track of Android updates for tons and tons of phone models for the past two years or so. Task is quite massive, but with biggest manufacturers, we have already a pretty valid data in place - and hope to get it even better.

For smaller manufacturers (Tecno, ZTE, etc), confirmed data is almost impossible to gather, so apologies for that (and if you can help us out with trustworthy sources for those manufacturers, let me know).

So… we thought, how would all that data look like if we’d build a timeline out of it. This is how it turned out:

It’s there. You just have to scroll to the very bottom of the page to see it

Agreed. The legend really should be at the top or floating or something. Not at the very bottom of the page.

Interesting. It’s not my chart or site but it works from my S23U running Kiwi Browser.

The color coded legend should be at the top of the page.
