Please change the colors used in the pie charts as multiple shades of green are nearly indistinguishable. The default Wikipedia colors work better as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Pie_chart

 * These charts and the corresponding table are carbon copies of developer.android.com and of questionable interest to the article. The terms normal, large, hdpi, xhdpi, etc are not defined or explained (though I think the pixel densities have an article somewhere), the formatting has broken the page, and anyway these stats are only relevant for development purposes and are of no interest to the general reader. I'm in half a mind to just remove them entirely. – Steel 12:41, 14 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Throwing out all the tables is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. In particular, the market share info seems critical as it shows the user acceptance of the evolution of the OS (esp. as it relates to fragmentation). The screen size/pixel density data is also important to understanding how the OS is used.  Consider, for example, questions about Retina displays or Android vs. iOS, or tablet vs. phone users.


 * The simple change that's required here is to make the pie charts readable rather than just pretty (something that the android.com folks ought to do too). Adding some text to explain the meanings of "normal, large, hdpi, xhdpi, etc" might be helpful, but the bulk of the information can be found via the linked source at - Legopacific (talk) 00:26, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
