Developed by Google, Android series began its legacy with the launch of its beta version on November 5, 2007. Android versions have different levels of API (Application Program Interface). This API acts as the central deciding part of the Android OS. It includes the instructions on how the software components must interact with one another. It also includes a set of protocols and tools for building the application software. Every new version of Android that is released comes with an increase in this API level.
Ever since its launch, Android 4 series has been on a constant edge of updates. The first one under this head was Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.1) which was launched on October 19, 2011.

Many prominent features were introduced in these versions. They are as follows:
Features of Android 4.1
Features of Android 4.2
Features of Android 4.3
