The new data on the extension of each of the versions of Android, they have brought news that Google I had been waiting for a long time: finally the percentage of users with Jelly Bean has surpassed that of Ice Cream Sandwich. Despite the fact that these results are inexplicable without taking into account the change in the measurement system that the search engine company made last month, the difference with the April figures is still positive. However, it is not all good news: Gingerbread it is still the most widely used version.
We already told you that, despite the impatience with which a good number of users await the arrival of Key Lime Pie, it seems that this will not take place in the event for developers of Google to be held this month (although we will know Android 4.3), but probably delayed until summer, As minimum.
The interesting thing about the question is the reason why apparently the Mountain Viewers would have decided to postpone it and that is none other than their desire to reduce the fragmentation that prevails in the world Android, and of which the data that we bring you today give a good example: in front of iOS, which already has the majority of users updated to the latest edition of their operating system, in Android the prevailing version is still nothing more and nothing less than Gingerbread.
The concern of Google for the matter is so much that the past mes opted to change the measurement system, trying to focus on the devices that remain in use, which in principle should increase the proportion of users with the latest versions and, indeed, the April data showed a significant improvement, with Jelly Bean reaching a 25%.
In this line, the figures of users with the versions of Android 4.1 y Android 4.2 continue to increase and in the month of may have surpassed, for the first time, those of those with devices with Ice Cream Sandwicha 28,4% or with a 27,5%, respectively. The percentage of devices with Gingerbread As an operating system, on the other hand, it drops slightly (38,5%) but, unfortunately for Google, it is still much higher than the most recent ones.
