We are an Android Dev Shop with decent success (US Based). We don't carry more than 4 models of android Devices.
Would you care to mention names of couple of dev shops that has 100 Android models?
- girvo 13y agoSome big game shops do, IIRC. That was a while back too, when there was 1.6 devices still being used. In my experience, 4 phone devices is about right for Android (and 2-3 iPhones for full testing).
- NickPollard 13y agoFor game shops, the reason they might have more is for GPU compatibility - where actual OpenGLES features can very between devices and you do have to worry about different code paths.
- rsfinn 13y agoWhat do you do when someone reports a bug on a device you don't have, and you can't reproduce it on one of the devices you do have? Genuinely curious (I'm a software developer but not on Android).
- kumarm 13y agoUsually its not device specific issues but Manufacturer specific issues. Same issues you encounter on Galaxy S4, you would notice on Galaxy S3, Note etc. Having a handset from each of major manufacturer is good enough for 99% of devs.
