The endemic evil of the entire Android ecosystem is found in updates, updates that, as a rule, when they arrive, do so late and badly. Android Nougat has been available on the market for almost a year, and in all that period of time, the percentage of devices that have it installed is only 15%, a very discouraging percentage if you want to have an up-to-date device at all times.
In this sense, Apple always offers us several years, up to 5 in most cases, so that our device is updated and protected against any security problem that can be detected, something that we will not be able to enjoy in life on Android , at least until Google gets serious, something that seems like it won't happen, At least in the short term.
According to the latest data that Google has posted on its developer portal, Android Nougat is found on 15,8% of devices, while its predecessor, Android 6 Marshmallow reaches a share of 32,2%. Android 5 Lollipop has a 28,8% share and KitKat is still at 15,1%. All other versions of Android they have a combined share of 8,1%.
The latest version of Android available on the market, Android Oreo, which has been on the market for a very short time, has not yet managed to get into this list and it is more than likely that it will not do so for a few months, months in which little Soon our devices will be arriving that this latest version, because as usual, manufacturers will take it very calmly to launch the update of the older ones.
On October 4, Google will officially present the new Google Pixel, and depending on both the price and geographic availability, the share of Android Oreo will continue as before or will begin to increase more quickly than in previous years. Time will tell Actualidad Gadget We will be there to tell you about it.
