Android 1.6 Donut is the fourth version of the open source Android mobile operating system developed by Google.

Among the more prominent features introduced with this update were added support for CDMA smartphones, additional screen sizes, a battery usage indicator, and a text-to-speech engine.[3]

History

After the public release, on September 15, 2009, of Android Donut—its official dessert-themed code name, the convention employed by Google to designate major Android versions—carriers were quick to follow with its roll out to customers in the form of an over-the-air (OTA) update for compatible smartphones.

On September 27, 2021, Google announced that it would no longer allow signing in on Android devices running Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread) or older. To log in, users must install at least Google Account Manager version 4.1.2, which requires Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later.
