Three months after Google decide to change the measurement method to improve the statistics of fragmentation de Android, it seems that at last the percentages of adoption they were trying to achieve: according to data from July, for the first time there are more devices working with Jelly Bean what with Gingerbread.
Although there have been no official statements, that in Google worries the fragmentation de Android It is quite clear, and some of the measures taken in recent times seem to confirm it: we have seen how a few months ago, for example, the measurement system was changed to limit the impact of end-of-life devices on statistics, and leaks and experts agree that the delay in the launch of Key Lime Pie This is because the Mountain Viewers are trying to give manufacturers more time to catch up with Jelly Bean.
The efforts of Google to reduce fragmentation, in any case, are paying off. We have been giving for several months statistics with quite positive readings about it and we already saw, in the data of June, who Jelly Bean it had finally reached more than 30% of the devices Android. The percentage has continued to grow this month, unsurprisingly, and an almost historic event has finally taken place in this regard: for the first time the newest version of Android, Jelly Bean, is the majority, surpassing with a 37,9% the percentage of devices with Gingerbread (34,1%). Collectively, devices with versions Android 4.0 and above are close to two-thirds of the total.
Good news therefore for Google that, despite still being far from the adoption rates of iOS, seems to be managing to address the problem of working with such a wide variety of manufacturers (a characteristic of Android which undoubtedly has other very positive aspects) although, unfortunately, the solution has been to delay the pace of updates. Fortunately, you won't have to wait much longer to enjoy Key Lime Pie that, according to the latest information, this autumn.
