Gingerbread currently has more share than Android Oreo

If we talk about market shares of the different versions of Android, it seems that we are telling a joke and it seems that Google passes the issue olympically without looking for a solution so that once and for all, fragmentation is not one of the reasons why users they prefer to opt for the Apple platform rather than the Android one.

The guys from Google have posted on the website for developers, updated data on the adoption share of the different versions of Android that are currently in operation where we can see how Android Oreo only has a 0,2% share.

Although Android 6.0 is the version that is currently found in the largest number of devices, 32%, that share is little by littleand it should be reducing in favor of Android Nougat, since many of the devices that are available are currently managed by the Android version, 17,8%. Android Lollipop has a 27,7% share while KitKat stays at 14,5%. One of the oldest versions of Android, on which Google continues to offer data in Gingerbread, which has a 0,6% share, higher than Android Oreo currently has.

Every year Google says it wants to end fragmentation, but makes no move on it. But all the fault not only of the firm based in Mountain View, since manufacturers also have part of it, but to a lesser extent, since it is Google who takes a long time to review each of the updates that manufacturers want to launch on the market, which in the end affects their market share, but in an almost imperceptible way. Now that it seems that Google wants to start manufacturing its own devices, after the purchase of HTC's mobile division, these figures may begin to change in the coming years, especially if it intends to launch new terminals with a good worldwide distribution and at a competitive price.
