Android Oreo is still the goal of the Mountain View. The platform, which was officially launched about two months ago, continues its rise, although it does so slowly and with some fronts still to be resolved. Since its arrival, we have been telling you more about the frequent changes that are being added to the platform and little by little, we are learning more about the terminals in which it will be equipped.
A few hours ago the last adoption figures of the youngest member of the green robot family. Next we will tell you more about the available data and we will see what the strengths may be, but also the drawbacks that version 8.1 has today. Do you prefer this platform or do you keep choosing the oldest, but also the most popular?
The data
As they count from GSMArena, Android Oreo has arrived in November at 0,3% of all devices that run with the interface owned by Google. Moving it to a specific figure, this amounts to around 60 million terminals around the world. The most outstanding thing may be the advance, of 0,2% compared to the latest data available, corresponding to the beginning of October. Do you think this greater presence has been significant, or does it have more room for improvement in the future?
Android Oreo is still in the shadow of its predecessors
If we compare the figure of this version with the previous ones, the results may be less than encouraging. marshmallow has experienced a decrease of 2 points compared to the latest statistics and is still present in the 30% of the more than 1.500 million terminals with Android. Lollipop comes in second, binding roughly 27%. We must also mention nougat, which has experienced more forceful increases reaching the 17% in version 7.0 and 3% in 7.1. Will we see any bigger increases that will be the first step to a mass adoption of Oreo?
The possible course
A few weeks ago we learned that the devices of the series Shield will not feature Oreo. However, many of the terminals that we will see in the final stretch of 2017 and at the beginning of 2018, they could have support that allows them to update to this version, which could be a significant boost to improve their implementation. On the other hand, stability improvements and final versions are helping. What do you think? Do you think this interface will bring big surprises in the short term or not? We leave you available related information such as a list of tablets with Android Oreo that we can currently find so that you can learn more.
