When Google updated the Android distribution numbers for September, Kit Kat was nearing 25% of all devices. Now for November, it has passed that mark and currently sits at 30.2%. Unsurprisingly, Lollipop is still not available through this graph, given that it is only publicly available starting today, so you can expect to see Android 5.0 appear in next month’s numbers.
As for the rest of the field, Jelly Bean sits at 50.9%, which is slightly down from last month’s 53.8%. Ice Cream Sandwich is also on the decline, falling to 8.5% from 9.6%, and Gingerbread now sits at 9.8% down from 11.4%.
Last month’s numbers can be found here.
Lollipop. All I know I have the great samsung note3.
I get updates for the Android 4.4.2 and the new styles of upgrade looking like lollipop sliding surfaces ext are one of the best keep it up ANDROID.
I am an old 61 computer engineer and I ha e seen some great things in a shot time.
More power to your elbow. ….
I will probably wait until January or so to get Lollipop on my Nexus 5. I’d like to wait for at least some patches/updates to roll out as well as have others with a Nexus 5 give it a go so I learn from them 🙂
My Panasonic ELUGA is partly responsible for that ICS number.
Would be nice to see a graph over time. Hard to visualize with only one month’s numbers in front of me.
Oh yes a graph! I love graphs!
You can thank Samsung for Jelly Bean
WHo aRe TheSe pEople tHaT usE GinGErBrEaD? LoL
Fond memories of the glorious built honeycomb!
30% in a year. Im not sure where i stand.
I want to know the people who are using froyo devices lol
A decent chunk of those probably aren’t daily drivers.
Just last week I turned on my OG droid for the heck of it. It started updating apps via WiFi. While I would not say that I used the Droid, it did access the play store and would be counted in the Eclair numbers. I wonder how many of the eclair numbers are people using old phones and how many are people screwing around with their OG Droid.
At least Honeycomb is dead.
I also had to temporarily re-activate my old Thunderbolt because I had forgot my phone at a customers while on a business trip. I only had to use it for a (very long) weekend so I may have also added to the Gingerbread numbers too.
I added to those numbers with a Droid 2 Global temporarily. Sorry. 🙂
Probably the same people still running XP on their PCs!
That is a huge improvement across the board… Nice to see Gingerbread under 10%!
Yes Google knows how to cleans the numbers
Die Gingerbread Die!!!!!!!!!
Yes, google will make it die one way or another way, don’t worry…
This is SPAM, look at previous comments by this user.
FYI: These are statistics on devices that have logged into google play not all android devices (AOSP is 96% of devices in China for example, so all of china is excluded from these stats).
Annnndd that’s why I Nexus.
JB + KK = 80%, way to go google for cleansing the numbers
Better to be sure. There is still a lot of room for improvement.
IMO – You should be able to get at LEAST 50% your user base on the latest revision within 1 year of release.
But it’s the cheap Android phones that don’t get updated on small and foreign carriers and even some localized carriers here. In a perfect world if everyone had a top tier phone it would be much easier.
My perfect world does not envision everyone with a top tier phone. My perfect world turns the wireless carriers into simple ISPs so you don’t have the problem of having to get their approval in the first place.
Gagdroid fragmentation
You realize iOS has fragmentation too. What am I doing responding to a troll? I need to sleep
Boy, talk about an epic fail. Tried to be funny, it totally backfired. I’ll be over here if anyone needs me.
*leaves the room*
Maybe you need one of those free dev bundle packs from the DL Deals Store 😛
Ha, the sad part is that it wasn’t even an attempt at XML. I was just trying to be funny and put HTML brackets around the comment,
but didn’t realize it would try to actually parse it.
Gotta give it more than 2 minutes homie
No.. he’s right. That’s terrible *attempted* XML
