The latest Android Google statistics show that over 75 percent (76.5 percent) of Android users are using Android 4.4 or older. At the end of this month, Android 4.4 is already two years available, so it is again the time for a major upgrade round from manufacturers.
Google published earlier this week the final firmware for Android 6.0 for the Nexus devices. Android 6.0 is the latest version of Android and all manufacturers with Android works have been busy developing new firmware for their devices and that’s a good thing.
The statistics show that of all Android users are 76.5 percent using Android 4.4 or older. At the end of this month, Android 4.4 is already two years available. Now this is probably the worst timing to take stock as the latest version of Android, Android 6.0, has only just available, and manufacturers have not had enough time to adapt Android 6.0 for their devices, but Android 5.0 is in November again a year.
It shows that Android manufacturers still need to do a notch and should be faster with updates to their devices. Especially now that the malware on Android to more and more trouble is capable of. With Stage Fright and State Fright 2.0 there are huge holes in Android enabled devices discovered by malicious are taking over. Is also a task for Google here to ensure that manufacturers get quicker updates.
The problem of older Android versions is incidentally something smaller in the Western countries where there is generally more money is spent on a smartphone. Namely manufacturers bring the first updates for their more expensive and latest devices. Then there only looked at the cheaper devices. However, Google does not make national figures known so we can not say exactly what proportion of Android 4.4 and lower in the Netherlands.
Worldwide is Android 5.0 currently at 15.6 percent and Android 5.1 on 7.9 percent. Android 6.0 has an immeasurable market share.
