Android 2.3 Gingerbread (Sept 2010)
Android 2.3 Gingerbread was launched in Sept 2010. It is right now the
oldest version of the OS that Google supports. But in Sept 2017, Google said
that Gingerbread is used only in 0.6 percent of all Android devices right now.
This OS received a user interface refresh under Gingerbread. It also added
support for using near field communication (NFC) functions for smartphones
which had the required hardware available. Nexus 5 was the first phone
which had Gingerbread and NFC hardware. It was co-developed by Google
and Samsung. Gingerbread is also credited to start the selfie trend as it had
support for multiple cameras and video chat support within Google Talk.
