Google all the time can not cope with updates. Shares … – Spider’s Web

This month longer than usual again we had to wait for information about how quickly reaches the end users the latest version of Android. These few days of delay, however, did not help in the cover-up that new Android still has the status of interest. It seemed impossible, but the result is worse than a month ago.

Google periodically publishes statistics on how many active users of Android uses the individual version of the operating system. The study takes into account the people who have installed Android 2.2 or later, and within a week, were connected with the shop Google Play Store.



This month, we met up with a very interesting and somewhat ridiculous situation.

It turns out that the latest version of Android use (after rounding the result to one-tenth of a percent ), the same number as the oldest … Android 2.2 Froyo. The percentage of both systems is only 0.4 percent. How is this possible when Lollipop was 3.3 percent in March.?

This was due to the fact that Google has already released Android 5.1, which like its predecessor in the form of Android 5.0 is called Lollipop code, but the new number is marked API – Lollipop 22. The first edition anyway is still meager shares – 5 percent.

Allowing both the latest versions together (5.4 per cent.), the lollipop is in second place in the statement by looking at the least popular distributions.

In addition to the aged Android 2.2 Froyo, which maintained a result, all other versions have higher market shares – even Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

A little younger, but now outdated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is 5.7 percent. which represents a decrease of 0.2 percentage points. The dominant mobile version of Google Android 4.4 KitKat today.



The most common system is now at stake 41.4 percent.

This is another month in a row when the user gets KitKat – a month ago, the result was 40.9 per cent. Slightly behind is counted together Jelly Bean – 40.7 percent. – Here again we see a decline, this time by 1.9 percent.

It should be remembered that Jelly Bean is really three different versions numbered 4.1 (down to 16.5 per cent. Of 17, 3 percent), 4.2 (down to 18.6 per cent. of 19.4 per cent.) and 4.3 (on a 5.6 percent decline. of 5.9 per cent.).

It is worth noting that the the presentation of an early version of Android L passed almost a year.

The problem the futures updates is that each manufacturer will provide a package before you upgrade it uploads your visual overlay and custom applications. This extends the whole process, which further extend the operators accepting each update branded devices.

It did not help that the Android L was shown in June at the Google I / O, six months before the official release. Manufacturers and operators are careless as usual, and this time even Google itself had enormous problems with updating the Nexus family of devices. The company from Mountain View should do something about finally done.

Not only did the presentation for adoption by the majority of users of a given version of it for years to Google includes a setback setback. Lollipop at first glance, it looks nice, but users are complaining about the so-called. memory leaks and short-time working away from the wall – and waiting for updates from the amendments to infinity.

These situations really should not take place when the software driving the majority of smartphones and tablets in the world.
