Android Distribution in May 2017

Android Distribution in May 2017:




Every month, Google publishes the distribution figures of the different versions of Android. A good way to realize the fragmentation of Google's mobile operating system and disparities between different versions.

Google publishes monthly to developers the distribution figures of the different versions of its mobile operating system, Android. The new versions usually take some time before having a significant value, and the comparison with iOS is largely to the advantage of Apple. A problem often blamed on the Mountain View firm, and obviously difficult to resolve since the deployment of updates depends on the goodwill of third-party manufacturers and operators.

Android Distribution of May and April 2017:

The numbers shown below were collected over a 7-day period from the terminals that connected to the Google Play Store. Anyone who does not have the Google app store (especially in China) is not taken into account. It should also be noted that versions representing less than 0.1% of the market shares are not listed below.


Android Distribution of May 2017:

After a 2.8 to 4.9% increase in April (+ 2.1 points), Android 7 Nougat continues its momentum and continues to accelerate (slightly) by passing this month at 7.10 %, An increase of 2.2 percentage points. The Galaxy S8 release is expected to be disappointing in some countries, but it is expected to be even stronger next month, especially since some smartphones at a low price (entry level From Honor for example) are updated.

On the head of the podium, nothing moves. Really nothing even since Android 5 Lollipop stagnates at 32% and that Android 6.0 Marshmallow remains at 31.2%. Figures identical to those of last month except that version 5.0 loses 0.3 points regained by version 5.1.


Android Distribution Comparison 2017:

Then comes Android 4.4 KitKat, with its 18.8% market share, which continues to fall - faster and faster - but still remains very present. This version with commercial name still more than twice as many terminals as the 9.1% of Android Jelly Bean (4.1, 4.2 and 4.3). Finally, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich continues to decline slightly with 0.8% of total shares while Android 2.3 Gingerbread, very oddly, regains 0.1 point and thus returns to 1%. An increase can be explained by the margin of error implied by the fact that only the devices connecting to the Play Store are counted.


The move to Nougat of entry and mid-range terminals as well as the release of the main flagships of 2017 should allow the latest version of Android to speed up. It remains nevertheless very weak today, testifying to the weakness of Android in this field.
