Android is a mobile operating system for smartphones and tablets, developed by Google, the Open Handset Alliance, and the Android Open Source Project, and it was initially released in 2008. Unlike iOS and iPadOS, Android is open-source, allowing the use of the OS on not only smartphones and tablets, but also video gaming consoles and even smart-watches.

As of 25 September 2020, up to seventeen games have been released on Google Play, with Sonic Advance available only for Japanese Android customers. All of the games released that were on Google Play had also been released on the Amazon App Store for Kindle Fire (including the Kindle Fire HD and HDX) and all other Android devices.

Trivia

• The port of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is more like the iPad version than the iPod/iPhone version.
  • Oddly, this version of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is shown to only be 1.2MB. This is due to the game having to download all the additional data upon first startup, eventually clocking in at around 40MB.
• The Android Robot, which is also the logo for the Android operating system, also appeared on the Google Play version of Sonic Dash as a playable character on limited time event on June 19, 2014. Using the Robot fifty times will unlock a Sonic version of the Android Robot known as "Andronic the Droid Hog."
• The Lite versions of Sonic the Hedgehog CD and Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II were taken down from Android devices as individual apps because these games were added as part of the Sega Forever service as of 2018.
