The Android ecosystem boasts hundreds of thousands of Android apps and hundreds of Android-based devices, with new apps and devices released every month. OEMs and operators face the challenge of determining whether popular apps will run on new devices in their portfolios and how users will receive those new phones and tablets.

"Testing with Apkudo Device Analytics helps OEMs and operators meet the fragmentation challenge and position new devices to be competitive in the dynamic mobile marketplace."
