Marshmallow Android 6.0 was officially released a few days ago. I do not expect, however, that soon he appeared in the monthly statistics of Android fragmentation provided by Google. The current score Lollipop, like a year ago KitKat, points to something quite different.
In the case of iOS and within a few days, most users update to the new version system millions of iPhones and iPads that are in constant use. The emergence of a new system of Google in the statistics probably wait a little more.
Do not anticipating the facts, however, we can look at what they look like Android fragmentation statistics on access to new mobile system from Google. The data in the table reminiscent of what we saw a year ago, just before the advent of the lollipop.
The latest Android consecutive year after a 12-month presence gained only approx. 25 percent. market. Which way would not watch this miserable result. Since last month Lollipop has not made too much market share, and its adoption is still slow.
On the developer.android.com there’s a new chart. It describes the distribution of power between different distributions of Android. Were tested devices that within a week ending on the date of 5 October joined the store applications Google Play.
The good news, if already we would like to look for the positives in this situation is that all versions Android but the newest and oldest lost a fraction of shares. Android 2.2 Froyo is still a natural curiosity of 0.2 percent. market share.
Older Androids falling too slowly to the sidelines. With Android 2.3 Gingerbread now uses 3.8 percent. the appliances, an increase of 0.3 percentage points. percent. less than a month ago. The same decrease scored Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich – from 3.7 percent. to 3.4 percent.
still well kept Jelly Bean Android from version 4.1 to 4.3. Globally it installed on 30.2 percent. smartphones and tablets with Android, while a month ago it was 31.8 percent. The greatest popular is here for Android Jelly Bean 4.2 – 14.5 per cent. is 0.7 points. percent less than a month ago.
Android Jelly Bean 4.1 is now second in line popularity and uses it still 11.4 percent. devices, when a month ago it was 12.1 percent. The youngest, Jelly Bean 4.3, is now 4.3 percent. market, an increase of 0.2 percentage points. percent. less. The slight decrease can also be seen in the case of Android 4.4 – with 39.2 per cent. at 38.9 percent.
Interestingly present the results lollipop. Presented a year ago System version 5.0 also lost shares and disappeared him 0.3 points. percent. – Now its popularity ranks at the level of 15.6 percent. Gained in this Fortunately Lollipop latest Android 5.1, which has grown from 5.1 percent. to 7.9 percent.
This does not change the fact that on the day before the release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow from de facto the latest Android benefited less than one tenth the unit. Even if you count the two Lollipopy together, they have a total of only 23.5 percent. market share. That’s less than he had Android 4.4 KitKat a year ago.
So it is clear that Google for the last year has not coped with the problem of fragmentation, and the scale this phenomenon to the increases. Given the vulnerabilities discovered another Android-related Stagefright which are only patched with the latest versions of the system, the situation is really bad.
It is sad not only in terms of safety, but also new features. Those in Android 6.0 is really a lot – and there can be mentioned even Google Now on Tap, an energy management system Doze or newest addition, which is the ability to translate text directly when you select it in your application.
With all these extras that are Yet already available, users benefit for a year or two – and Google is still the problem of fragmentation of Android is no cure.
