Whenever a new version comes out of a mobile operating system, studies indicate that as users of technology, always trying the latest news .. something that is not always possible in the Android world we like.

Today Android is an operating system that needs no introduction. Leading position in the segment of mobile devices, only in 2013, were sold about 800 million devices with this platform.

Fragmentation continues to be one of the greatest torments of Android. The update of the Google platform always involves Google itself, manufacturers, operators … which makes the whole process very complex. Have the other hand, Apple competitor has simplified the entire process and easily a user with iPhone 4, or 5 5C/5C can upgrade to the latest version of iOS.

Will Google ever be able to mix the whole process?
