It was all the way back in 2008 when the first Android smartphone, the T-Mobile G1 (also known as the HTC Dream), hit the shelves. At that time, Google’s software still lacked essentials we take for granted nowadays – including an on-screen keyboard, rich notifications, video recording, and multitouch gestures – but it paved the way for a whole new ecosystem to emerge. Android is now the most popular mobile OS in the world and the only real alternative to Apple’s iOS in the space.
In 2019, Google is unveiling the 10th major Android release.
