Latest Android distribution numbers show Marshmallow breaking 0.5%
Google has released the latest distribution numbers for different versions of Android, and Marshmallow is continuing its slow climb towards a full percentage point of the market. Last month Android 6.0 was on 0.3% of devices, and this month it’s made a slight jump to 0.5%.
Lollipop also climbed from around 25% to nearly 30%, while KitKat and Jelly Bean fell roughly 1% each.
Older versions of Android are still clinging on, with FroYo sitting still at 0.2%, Gingerbread falling just a bit, and Ice Cream Sandwich dipping less than half a percentage point. How 4% of the market manages to survive with an Android phone running Gingerbread or lower is beyond me, but I guess if you’re still rocking a phone that old you’re in no hurry to upgrade.
It’d be nice to see Marshmallow increase its market share a little quicker, but that’s just the way these new Android versions seem to pan out.
