We are facing a clear improvement in terms of the fragmentation of the different versions of the operating system used in Android devices, but even so we are facing a real nonsense about the implementation of the new versions that still too low.
And we are not talking about Android Marshmallow, Nougat or the latest Android Oreo, we are talking about the distribution of Android Lollipop takes 26,3% of the share on all devices and 13,4% who are still in KitKat.
But despite this, not everything is bad news and how well we have commented in the headline of this article, the dominant systems during this month of December are Android Marshmallow and Nougat. Both systems are fairly recent and In the case of Nougat, we can even say that it is by little the second most used OS as this picture below shows:
Between the two systems (Marshmallow and Nougat) they account for just over 50% of current operating systems, specifically 53%. This is undoubtedly very good news for Android users who see fragmentation gradually gaining ground. But the ground is lost for the moment in Android Oreo, the new version of Android is only found on Google devices and this weighs a lot despite the fact that devices compatible with this version are being added little by little.
What we have to make clear is that the data collected during a period of 7 days until 11/12/2017 shows a good percentage of devices that are in the latest versions of the system and as always we have to keep waiting for it to arrive. to more. For now it is good news but in this sense Android lacks a lot if we compare it with its direct rival iOS, so we hope that both Google, the operators and the brands of smartphones that use Android will continue working on it.
