We said when it was presented Android M that Google They seemed determined to release a new version of Android every year, but the truth is that if the manufacturers do not manage to do something else to maintain their rhythm, we are going to find ourselves with a greater accumulated delay every time and all the efforts that the search engine company had made to finish, or at least mitigate , the fragmentation In the android world, it looks like they are going to be spoiled: even though we just attended the debut of its successor, according to the latest adoption statistics, Android Lollipop it hasn't even reached 15%.
Android Lollipop is present in 12,4% of devices
Actually, if we compare the data that you have left us Google this month with those of the previous months, the news is quite good: right now 12,4% of the devices already have Android Lollipop, which represents about 3 points of growth in the last month and, what is more impressive still, about 7 points in the last two months (which means that its quota has doubled in this period). It is clear that at last the extension of this latest version of Android has picked up a better rhythm. The problem is that, unfortunately, it seems that even at this rate it will not be possible to avoid that by the time it arrives Android M we find a not very attractive outlook in the face of the problem of fragmentation.
And it is that half a year after its launch, in most devices Android, no less than 39% of them, runs the version released the previous year (KitKat), in another 37% the previous one (Jelly Bean) and there is still another 10% with even older ones. We can only hope that in the coming months the adoption rate of Android Lollipop increase even faster, because at the moment it seems that we could find ourselves again this year with a similar situation (if the 3 growth points per month are maintained, maybe even worse) to that of last year when this version was launched and Android KitKat had barely reached 30% of devices yet.
How lucky are you guys having with your tablets? Have you already received Android Lollipop? We remind you if you are pending the update, which we recently made a review of all those that were in progress And, of course, we will continue to pay attention to others that we have news about.
