Android M already presented, a lollipop still hardly anyone saw – Spider’s Web

Google just a few days ago unveiled the first Android M. Now we got to inspect the new statistics on market penetration by individual distributions previously given the green robot. It is not surprising that the Android Lollipop after last year’s presentation uses a ridiculously small number of people.

For several years, Google presents tables and charts showing it how many percentage of people use the next version of Android. For many months we are waiting for it to Android Lollipop gained significant market share. Results for the year of release are not optimistic, and if this pace continues, the Android M will be accepted for the next two years

In the table without major changes

One can not say that the graph totally standing still. Lollipop steadily gaining share, but is still just a drop in the ocean. Still the majority of the users use published the year before Android KitKat and even older three hits Android Jelly Bean. It’s all systems that are not months and years.

Without a doubt another month in a row Android 4.4 KitKat is the most popular version of Android. It is used by 39.2 per cent today. all holders of smartphones and tablets with Android, which over the week ending June 1, adhere to the Google Play store. A month ago it was 39.8 percent.



Lollipop from a meager result

Android Lollipop responsible for 12.4 percent. All Runner in comparison to 9 percent. in May. But what is curious, the result lollipop marked as version 5.1 – which is de facto the most recent system – is less than one percent – just 0.8 percent. … compared to 0.7 percent. in May. Growth is at the border of statistical error.

In the case of other versions also changes are minimal. Jelly Bean is now 37.4 percent. The division between the different views that Android is 14.7 percent. for version 4.1, then 17.5 percent. for versions 4.2 and 5.2 percent for version 4.3. A month ago, these results amounted to 15.6 per cent., 18.1 per cent. and 5.5 percent. which gives a total score of 39.2 percent.

For older systems, the changes are minor

Ice Cream Sandwich 5.1 percent today. (It was 5.3 percent.), Gingerbread is 5.6 percent. (Compared to 5.7 percent.) And the oldest Android Froyo indicated by numeral 2.2 is unchanged 0.3 percent. market. It is thus clear that Android is gaining at the expense of Lollipop Jelly Bean.

The market launch of Android M a few months, but it is difficult to have any illusions that the situation will change. Android is fragmented as ever, and more and more people are losing access to new applications. This problem will be constantly deepened.



Google’s efforts are slipping down to nothing

The American company showed Lollipop Android developers under the codename Android L for several months before its premiere . Nothing, however, could not, because so manufacturers have released system updates mainly for top models on offer, and use multiple phones left no chance for an upgrade.

Google moved many of its applications to the Google Play store and no longer update their only together with the system. The company also updates various services through Google Play Services, which has a somewhat alleviate the problem of fragmentation and inability to provide updates directly to users.

In the context of Lollipop results do not surprise me that the developers of Mountain View during the Google I / O showed no breakthrough functionality in Android M. In the end, the developers of Google still do not know how most Android users will react to changes made by Android L.

Do not brewing However, it would quickly reached a feedback signal.
