The evolution of Android: Decades of transformation

Android was acquired by Google in 2005, marking a significant turning point for the platform. It evolved from an open-source operating system that encouraged diverse hardware options to a dominant mobile OS, adapting to consumer demands for larger screens and advanced features. Between 2018 and 2020, manufacturers began adopting edge-to-edge displays, leading to innovations like the "notch" and "punch-hole" designs. From 2021 onward, foldable phones emerged, with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip redefining the smartphone form factor. Google introduced optimizations for large screens and improved multitasking capabilities to accommodate these changes.

Google Confirms DeX-Like Desktop Experience For Android 16, Asks Developers To Embrace Adaptive App Designs

Google has confirmed that Android 16 will include desktop windowing capabilities for a "true desktop-like experience" when connected to larger screens, as announced during the Google I/O 2025 developer conference. The company is collaborating with Samsung to enhance the Samsung DeX platform, which transforms smartphones and tablets into desktop environments. While an early version of this feature has been previewed, it may not be available with Android 16 but could be included in a quarterly update or Android 17. Google is promoting adaptive Android development to ensure applications function efficiently across various devices, emphasizing that developers can make small, iterative changes rather than completely rebuilding applications for different form factors.

Buckle up: Android Automotive has 70 new apps to keep you entertained (in the parking lot)

Google will soon introduce nearly 70 new applications for Android Automotive, increasing the total number of available apps to nearly 300. The new apps include popular streaming and gaming titles like Farm Heroes Saga, Paramount Plus, Plex, F1 TV, Red Bull TV, and NBC News. These apps will only function when the vehicle is parked to ensure safety. Android Automotive is an embedded operating system in vehicles, distinct from Android Auto, which connects a phone to a vehicle. Currently, around 100 vehicle models feature Android Automotive, including the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado, 2023 Honda Accord, 2025 Ford Explorer, and 2024 Nissan Rogue. The rollout of the new apps will initially target select Volvo and Polestar models, with broader availability expected soon. Google is working with various vehicle manufacturers to enhance the app ecosystem for automotive screens.
