Tim, 10 hours agoAnd the million version of gingerbread.... remember my htc phone got 2.3.6 and than jumped to 4.0.It jumped from 2.3.6 to 4.0.1 as Android 3.0 honeycomb was for tablets. That was the main reason you would not get 3.0 on mobile phones.

Kangal, 1 hour agoNot at all. Again, GSMArena is now a low-quality publication as opposed to the High-Quality pu... moreI'm no Android fan (see my post below), but iOS has never been better than Android. iOS is a basic OS with way too many limitations. That was true in 2011, and that's still true in 2020.
Apple makes decent flagship phones, but their biggest weakness is the overly restrictive OS they run on.

My first Android Gingerbread in 2011
Anonymous, 5 hours agoGSMArena once again knocks this out of the park, with another fantastic flashback article. A... moreNot at all. Again, GSMArena is now a low-quality publication as opposed to the High-Quality publications from the likes of Anandtech. Many of their posts are paid, sponsored, or hype to generate more Ad-Revenue.
I was on several ecosystems at this point.Using Symbian and Windows Mobile, in those match-ups Android 2.3.4 was good.But it's using higher-level coding that cannot match the efficiency of iOS (v4) and it's Semi-Native lower-level coding.
Where iOS lacked features, Android was down-right frustrating because it was very clunky. Besides, Peter forgets that many features that came available on AOSP were already present on earlier versions of Android through OEM modifications. Yes, fragmentation was a problem, and its moreso today. And security? Forget it, this was the early days of the wild wild west... if you wanted security good luck.
Android Gingerbread was NOT great.It was better than the alternatives, and against the likes of BadaOS, webOS, MeeGo, it won because it had support from corporations with funding and devices being made. I remember the Samsung SII when it shipped with an impressive chipset, and it was held-back by the clunkiness of Android 2.3 and TouchWiz. Managed to upgrade the drivers, kernel, and the OS. Running it on a very lean Android 4.0.3 (AOKP) made its battery last half-day longer and feel fast and fluid. That was a major difference. Oh, and many of the Android exploits we discovered back in 2009-2011, which wasn't patched in Gingerbread, yeah those were suddenly fixed. So it was more secure too (for its time).
And keep in mind, I used Android 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, and I am saying those devices were better than Symbian and Windows Mobile. They were not as good as the iPhone OS though. With Android 4.0.3 suddenly I was converted. And with iOS 7 (iPhone 5S) I was a huge fan of Apple too. The next major improvement I noticed was going from Android 4.4.4 to the bugfixed Android 5.1 Lolipop. Since then we've had incremental upgrades, and mostly for OEMs and not direct users or Rom Developers.
If you must know, EvolutionX ROM (Android Pie 9) is much better than Google Pixel OS (Android10).

SpiritWolf, 2 hours agoQuestion. Was GSM Arena team paid by Spygle back then, to promote inferior OS? Because you know, for not brainwashed people, Spydroid was a laughingstock.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread was great for it's time. It was the first Android OS i switched to (i had clinged to Symbian OS till the very end). The OS had everything that one desired for back then. Far more advanced than iOS & a valid replacement to the dying Symbian OS.
Android continued to grow for the next few years, but as of late has been losing it's essence. I look forward to seeing a replacement pop up sometime soon.

i always love this posts from gsmarena

Just like this great article, I would officially like to request the most influential iOS version till date. My vote goes to iOS 7, the 64-bit OS with the all-powerful A7 was crushing the competition in terms of performance.
?
Back at that time, I had an HD2. It was running windows from ROM and android from SD. I remember the time I upgraded to 2.3, it was like it had a turbocharger attached to it. I stayed on Ginger bread two years before upgrading to ICS and then to jellybean.Good old days.

GSMArena once again knocks this out of the park, with another fantastic flashback article. Amazing.

The fact that it was the last version officially supported by Samsung in the first generation of the Galaxy S helped making it so popular (and resilient over time). Plenty of Galaxy S were in people's pockets for many years.

GregLu, 11 hours agoStill got and Xperia Ray that was on this version and then updated to ICS mainly for the share... moreXperia Ray was arguably the most beautiful Android smartphone to ever come to existence.When I held it, it felt like something super expensive and did stand out in the crowd.

I began android carrer in 2.1 now looking back 2.3 was the the most celebrated release and my favorite yet , the heated fight against nokia symbian, ios, wp really took off with this release and Flashing various roms was fun

I had the Samsung galaxy ace plus as my first smartphone and it ran gingerbread out of the box. That introduced me to the world of smartphones!! Definitely nostalgic!! Using wifi Direct to send big video files to other samsung phones was a boon too!!!
