As everyone who is waiting for the update to reach their smartphone or tablet will know, the expansion of Android KitKat, it is progressing much more slowly than one might wish. However, little by little, it seems that its diffusion is beginning to pick up pace and we can already find it, according to the latest data from Google, En a 17,9% of the devices.
It is almost difficult to believe that it has been more than half a year that 4.4 Android KitKat saw the light if we consider that not even 1 out of 5 devices still enjoy it. If we compare the figures for July, however, with those for April, we see that at least their growth is beginning to accelerate, leaving good prospects for the coming months.
Android KitKat continues to grow at a good pace
And it is that, if we take into account that Android KitKat had only reached 8,5% of devices since its launch until May, the fact that in just two months it has grown by almost 10 points (slightly more than 5 points between May and June and slightly less than 5 points between June and July) cannot but make us feel optimistic.
Jelly Bean, for its part, is already in clear decline, as is Ice Cream Sandwich y Gingerbread, although it is still the version present in a greater number of devices, reaching between Android 4.1, Android 4.2 y Android 4.3 nothing more and nothing less than a 56,5%.
Waiting for Android L
Although the data for Android KitKat finally they begin to be positive, the truth is that the recent presentation of Android L puts black clouds back on the horizon, as regards the problem of Google with the fragmentation your mobile operating system is concerned. We will have to wait to see when the update officially begins to arrive on the devices Nexus and from there to the rest, and how widespread it is Android 4.4 then.
