Android development typically costs similar to iOS development.

We recommend supporting Android 8.0 (API 26) and above, covering 95%+ of active devices. Supporting Android 6 or 7 adds minimal reach but significant testing complexity. Enterprise apps may need older version support.

We test on multiple device configurations covering major manufacturers (such as Samsung, Google, Oppo), screen sizes (4"-6"), Android versions (8 to 16+), and manufacturer skins. Responsive layouts adapt to any screen. Hardware capability detection ensures features degrade gracefully on older devices.

Yes. Older Android apps written in Java can be migrated to modern Kotlin with Jetpack Compose. Improves performance, reduces code complexity, enables latest Android features. Migration costs 40-60% of rebuilding whilst preserving functionality.
