There were finally new statistics about the fragmentation of Android. These are the first data that take into account the period of a week in late 2015 and 2016 which last week right after Christmas. It seems that Santa Claus did not leave under the tree for many devices with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. That fragmentation is still a problem, however, should not surprise anyone anymore.
Month on month Google publishes statistics about the fragmentation of Android. This week, the first data available for 2016. This time we took into account the number of devices that connect to the Google Play store for the week ending with the date January 4.
Just as in the last few months the market share of Android 6.0 Marshmallow is just miserable.
After a few months the release is still less than one smartphone or tablet devices out of a hundred respondents identified themselves as hardware running under the control of the latest edition of Google’s mobile system. I realize that Android has many fans and defenders, but this situation is simply bizarre.
On 4 th January 2016 Marshmallow Android 6.0 was installed on only 0.7 percent. equipment, and increase only by 0.2 points. percent. compared to the results of a month. This means that statistically the novelties prepared by the developers of Mountain View still uses a handful of people.
Older versions of slowly disappear.
The oldest Android currently in use, which is 2.2 Froyo maintained, your score at a negligible 0.2 percent. The good news is that all editions older than Android 5.0 Lollipop been classified over the past month decline. The participation of both editions Lollipop has grown and is in a higher dimension than 6.0 marshmallow.
Android 2.3 Gingerbread and 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is now 3 per cent. and 2.7 percent. market. These versions passed a decline at the level of 0.4 points. percent. and 0.2 points. percent. In the case of Android Jelly Bean, which is really three issues identified by sequence numbers 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 fall was bigger.
All three versions Jelly Bean lose their importance
Zelka controls today 24 7 per cent. market, while a month ago it was about 1.7 percentage points. percent. more. The oldest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean lost 1 point. percent and has a score of 9 percent. Newest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is now 12.2 percent. shares (down 0.8 pts. per cent.) and Android 4.3 – 3.5 percent. (down 0.4 pts. per cent.).
time cares for very graciously with the release of Android 4.4 KitKat. A month ago, a system called the fruit of the cooperation of Google and Nestle could be found on 36.6 per cent. devices, and today the outcome of this version is 36.1 percent. That’s more than three newer editions together.
This means that the most popular version of Android was released … over two years ago.
The new data made available Google’s cover the period right after Christmas. It can be concluded that under the Christmas tree were found the device working under Android Lollipop – the two editions numbered 5.0 and 5.1. Both of these versions, even counted separately, passed a bigger increase than marshmallow.
Android 5.0 Lollipop now controls 16.9 per cent. Android market, an increase of 0.6 points. percent. more than a month ago. In the case of the newer Android 5.1 Lollipop statistics for today shown next to the score of 15.7 percent. – By as much as 2.5 percent. more than a month ago. Lollipop calculated together in turn 32.6 percent. market.
Is fragmentation of Android is the problem?
The statistics used by the different editions of Android users write on the pages of a Spider’s Web for several years and about the real impact of fragmentation discussed repeatedly. I fully agree with the fact that many users have the deference with which version of the software using their phone.
I am also aware that Google is fighting the fragmentation on several fronts. Most popular applications can be installed on smartphones and tablets with outdated software, a lot of new versions of applications and services launched by Google Play Store and the Google Play Services.
But you can not deny that the problem exists. Google is trying to force the producers updates, but still many companies do not bother to prepare upgrades, and these can often get stuck at the stage of checking their operators sell phones with brandowanym software.
The developers of Mountain View every year, presenting new version show great news, but the fragmentation of the platform makes it invariably use may have only a handful of people.
