Google has unveiled new statistics on the distribution of versions Android. As of December 1, 2014, the most popular version of the system is still JellyBean, despite the marked increase in the proportion of KitKat among the devices by which users visited the company’s application store Play Market .

 

The share of Android 4.4 KitKat increased by 3.7% and is now set at 33.9% of the devices, while the new version of the mobile operating system Lollipop has not managed to overcome the mark of 0.1%. The most common version is still Android 4.1-4.3 Jelly Bean, which is installed on 48.7% of devices and is now used less than half of the vehicles. In this case, Ice Cream Sandwich (7.8%), Gingerbread (9.1%) and Froyo (0.5%) are still present in the rankings.

It is also worth noting that the app store does not work on older versions of Android, so that the rating device under their control simply do not count, but as of August 2013, the devices with older versions of the system was about 1%, that is, we can confidently say that their share decreased.

Google points that are not marked on the chart those OS versions that have less than 0.1%, thus confirming the fact that slow the spread of Android 5.0.

Despite the fact that the updates have already appeared for Nexus-devices, the new Nexus 6 9 and Nexus come with pre-installed a new version of the system, and LG has officially announced the renewal of its flagship, the users of these devices is still not enough to place in the top Lollipop.

Google said earlier that Lollipop will spread faster than all previous versions of Android. In these words there is a certain reason, as many manufacturers are already preparing an update for the flagship devices, for example, HTC and Samsung. In light of recent events, OnePlus One should also soon get Android 5.0, as well as Mi-series device from Xiaomi.

It should be noted that Google is more than six months refused to license their services for those devices that use older versions of Android KitKat, which had a positive impact on increasing the share of this version of the system. Some producers also promises to use Lollipop in their already announced but not yet published products, for example, Nokia N1.

to see if the latest version of Android by the end of December, the official statistics and how fast it will spread in the future .
