Major versions of Android that introduce behavior changes are released once a year in Q2. Since 2025, there are two Android releases a year. The other is a minor release in Q4 which brings new APIs and feature updates but does not contain any breaking changes. See Android OS Version History for additional information about each release.
Android 4.4W is the first Android release for Android Wear.
A stripped-down version of the Android operating system designed for low-end and ultra-budget smartphones, Android (Go edition), is also made available by Google since Android 8.1. While based on Android it seems to follow a distinct release and EOL policy.
More information is available on the Android OS website.
