Google has released the latest breakdown of its mobile platform usage showing the proportion of active devices running each version of the Android operating system. Data is collected over a 7-day period ending April 16, and only represents devices that visited the Google Play Store during that period, so they do not include AOSP devices. Android Oreo has experienced a significant growth, although it continues with a market share that is too low.

Android Oreo improves, but still does not take off

Android Oreo has had a growth of 3.3% compared to two months ago, despite this, it is still only 4.6% of all Android devices, which is bad enough for an official update of the operating system that came out almost eight months ago. To make matters even worse, only 0.5% of devices are on the latest version, released four months ago.

Android Nougat is still present in 30.8% of devices, with it being the most used version with an increase of 2.3% in the last two months. For its part, Marshmallow has dropped to 26.0%, which still represents more than a quarter of all Android devices, and Jelly Bean represents 4.5% of Google Play devices.

Version Name API February This month Change
2.33 - 2.3.7 Gingerbread 10 0.3% 0.3% -
4.0.3 - 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich fifteen 0.4% 0.4% -
4.1.x Jelly bean 16 1.7% 1.7% -
4.2.x 17 2.6% 2.2% -0.4%
4.3.x 18 0.7% 0.6% -0.1%
4.4 KitKat 19 12.0% 10.5% -1.5%
5.0 Lollipop twenty-one 5.4% 4.9% -0.5%
5.1 22 19.2% 18.0% -1.2%
6.0 Marshmallow 2. 3 28.1% 26.0% -1.9%
7.0 Nougat 24 22.3% 23.0% + 0.7%
7.1 25 6.2% 7.8% + 1.6%
8.0 Airing 26 0.8% 4.1% + 3.3%
8.1 27 0.3% 0.5% + 0.2%

Earlier versions continue to decline slowly, with Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich accounting for less than 1% combined, proving that they continue to resist disappearing despite their age.

Fragmentation has always been the big problem on the Google platform, with each new version the hope arises that this may change, but if it has not happened so far there is not much reason to think that it could happen in the medium term.
