Android fragmentation latest statistics – PCLab.pl

Google publishes monthly statistics of Android fragmentation, which show the popularity of each distribution system. Condition they find themselves on the list is the installed version 2.2 or later, and connect to at least once in a month the store Play Store. The April ranking was revealed a few days late, and it shows that the latest version of the system is still not popular among the users.

Android 5.1 is only 0, 4% of the shares, although this should not surprise anyone, because this version has been released recently. In total, the family Lollipop boasts result of 5.4%, which is 2.1 percentage points more than in March. Generally you will find that users constantly update their systems, but it takes far too slow. Only an aging Android 2.2 Froyo has remained the same share as in the previous month, and the rest of the distribution recorded an increase in popularity.

The Gingerbread now controls 6.4% of phones with Android Ice Cream Sandwich 5.7% (a decrease of 0.2 percentage points), while all editions version Jelly Bean can boast a total score of at the level of 40.7%. KitKat remained the most popular distribution, which received 41.4% of the shares (an increase of 0.5 percentage points). Based on these statistics, it is evident that Google has a problem with futures updates. The worst part is that the manufacturers do not want to share the new operating system versions for older devices, and when they do, they add their own applications and overlays significantly prolongs the expectations of users.

It is also worth noting that the Android L was presented in June during the Google I / O, and officially made available a few months later, but still has problems with memory leaks. According to analysts, to achieve 40% market share Lollipopowi take at least 12 months, but only if this version will be widely available for the most popular devices. It seems that all too soon it will not happen, so Google will have to contend with the growing fragmentation.
