Despite the fact that more and more devices to receive the update to Android Marshmallow, the adoption of the Android version is limited. No one percent of all handsets running on Google’s latest mobile operating system.
Android Marshmallow adoptive limited
Android 6.0 Marshmallow was last October available made Nexus phones and found the past few months, slowly but surely made its way to devices from other manufacturers. In the week ending January 4 Marshmallow market share rose to 0.7 percent, while Lollipop (5.x) recorded a higher share of 32.6 percent. The most widely used version of Android is still KitKat (4.4), which stands at 36.1 percent of the appliances with access to Google Play.
The use of older Android version is declining, already have Froyo ( 2.2), Gingerbread (2.3.x), Ice Crean Sandwich (4.0.x) and Jelly Bean (4.x) jointly have a market share of 30.6 percent. That Froyo yet reflected in the figures of Google is remarkable, because the operating system was launched nearly six years ago. Also Gingerbread, rolled out in December 2010, is still represented with a share of 3 per cent. Also check out our list with Android versions and the improvements that have brought them.
Platform remains fragmented
In the picture below you can see how the Android Marshmallow adoption relates to the previously released versions. The platform is still highly fragmented, which is problematic for both users and app developers. The first group often do not know when (if at all) their device gets an update, while developers to optimize their applications to take into account many different devices and versions. Apple can do so much more clarity, by ensuring that virtually all devices run on the same software.
If we are to believe recent reports, we can conclude in the coming months for Android N. About this new Android version , which may be released in the autumn, is still little known. The only thing that is more or less confirmed is that Android N probably introduces a splitscreen mode, so users can run two apps together underneath. The update will also likely contain a slightly modified design and more administrative functions. Read about our first Android N expectations.
