Though Google has not been consistent with Android distribution numbers, after skipping March and June… Now we have July released.
It appears Android Oreo is now installed on more phones compared to May distribution number. The number of handsets with Android Oreo climbed up to 12.2%; which shows a 5.2% significant change compared to what we had in May.
Meanwhile, Android Nougat on the other hand, has proved to be the most widely used version of Android and has a market share of 30.8% combining both the Android 7.0 and the Android 7.1 versions.
Marshmallow fell 2 percentage points to 23.5%, with Lollipop 5.0 and 5.1 merging for 20.4%. KitKat is at 9.1% and Jelly Bean fell to 3.6%. Meanwhile, Ice Cream Sandwich is at 0.3% and Gingerbread at 0.2%.
The latest Android distribution table was compiled based on all the devices that visited the Google Play Store over the last month.
It appears a lot of Android users no longer care about updating their OS. Some don’t even know the OS version they are running.
I still find it difficult to believe that the 0.3% and 0.2% running Sandwich and Gingerbread OS don’t even know if they are using an android phone or not… maybe, just maybe it should be scrapped.
When last did you receive an update on your android phone?
Quick rise for Oreo, I remember my days of gingerbread.
There’s an update notification For me to upgrade to marshmallow since early last year or so and i have not. Don’t know if it’s laziness or I’m just comfortable with my current version.
Once I’m okay with out of the box android version, upgrading becomes something i don’t look forward too.
A quick rise indeed. I was of the thinking many were still on the marshmallow OS until I saw this compilation
I have a feeling One way or the other that Nokia really contributed to this rise
This is a welcome update
Hmmmmm. This good. But I’m still using kitkat oh on Samsung Note 2. Any upgrade for me Mr Yomi.
maybe we don’t want to update it to avoid stories that touch
Updating is good nd it makes ones phone av a better performance
Still rocking 6.0 and 7.1.. Next goal is to get a device that comes with oreo or I wait until 9.0 starts being utilized by OEM.
Before we know it, lollipop and marshmallow will soon be forgotten with the trend of technology updates
Quite an increase
When is Tecno going to upgrade Tecno Camon CX to Oreo!?? Tecno should not abandoned this phone at Nougat
