Even if you know what version of Android your phone or tablet is running, it's not always clear what features that particular flavor of the operating system supports. That would be excuse enough to whip up the handy Android OS comparison chart below — but for Android fans, it's also a fun trip down memory lane to see just how far Google's mobile operating system has come in just a few short years.

Check out the visual guide below to get the details on the differences between Android's dessert-flavored operating system releases. If you'd like to print out a copy or just save it locally, right-click for a PDF version of the chart. Our guide has been updated with information on the newest version of Android, known as Ice Cream Sandwich or Android 4.0.

Thanks to the awesome folks at Eu, Android in Brazil, there is also a Portuguese translation of this chart available!
