A recent study done by Crittercism surveyed 106 mobile operating systems on over 2500 different devices to try to figure out which OS was the most stable. It was a pretty massive experiment that found some very interesting details.​

Out of all of the different things they measured, Crittercism found that Android 4.4 KitKat was the most stable mobile operating system available with a crash rate of just 0.7%. That’s significantly better than the crash rate of Android 2.3, which found that Gingerbread crashed roughly 1.7% of the time. For comparison, Apple’s own iOS 7.1 had a crash rate of 1.6%, just slightly better than Gingerbread. Older versions of iOS saw even higher crash rates, peaking at 2.5% for iOS 5. Good news for Android and Android developers, right?​

As far as devices go, it turns out Samsung makes the most stable Android devices with the lowest crash rates. Samsung obviously has the most practice with devices, between enormous market share and their tendency to flood the market with an uncountable number of devices. Interestingly, smartphones were almost always more stable their tablets, regardless of manufacturer or OS.​

Next time you’re in a heated argument about which operating system is better, just remember this study. It might help you out.​
