Everything About Android Versions When They Released Android 0.9 / 0.8 / 0.7
These are the Androids you're looking for.
The Android operating system was introduced in February 2009 and runs on all Android smartphones and tablets. Since Android is open source, some devices have a custom version of the OS, but most have a similar look and feel and share the same functionality. Each version of the OS has a corresponding number, and since the release of Android 1.5 Cupcake in April 2009, a dessert name appended to it.
Below you'll find a history of the OS including Android version names, when they was released, and what they added to the platform.
1.Android 9.0 Pie
Current version: 9.0 Beta 4; released on July 25, 2018.
No more home button or multitask/overview button.
The latest Android version, 9.0 Pie, adds an array of features aimed to help you use your smartphone less, including a new dashboard that helps you monitor your smartphone usage, and several ways to mute notifications when you're busy or trying to sleep. It also has features that learn from your behavior, like offering to disable notifications you frequently dismiss and giving the apps you use more often battery priority.
See our guide to Android Pie for more detail about this OS update.

Android 8.0 Oreo's release coincided with Go Edition, the company's lighter OS for low-end devices. Android Go brought stock Android to cheaper devices that didn't have the storage space for the full-blown OS. It also added a few usability enhancements and fixed a controversial emoji.

Android Oreo Go Edition introduced
Bluetooth battery level for connected devices in Quick Settings
Navigation buttons dim when not in use
Automatic light and dark themes
The cheese in the hamburger emoji was moved from the bottom to the top of the burger

Google Maps and Google Chrome running on Android Nougat.
Modified versions of the Android OS are often ahead of the curve. Android 7.0 Nougat added support for split-screen functionality, a feature that companies like Samsung already offered. It also added more inclusive emojis with more skin and hair options.
Key New Features:
Native split-screen support
Emojis with additional skin colors and hairstyles
Ability to add emergency information to the lock screen
Introduction of Daydream virtual reality platform
Picture-in-picture support for Android TV
Fingerprint sensor gesture to open/close notification shade
