As the months go by, it seems increasingly clear that Android has a serious problem of fragmentation. But it also seems increasingly clear that the responsibility can not be attributed only to Google, who has shared with manufacturers of smartphones and tablets.
But the figures also show that 76.1% of smartphones and tablets is currently running a version of software over a year old – all up to Android 4.2. If it is removed from the equation version 4.2, and it has a limit version 4.1, then almost half of Android users are under an operating system that is about to be two years.
Looking at the individual level, the situation does not improve. The Android 2.3 Gingerbread is still the third most used, with a share of 14.9%, and has over three years of existence. The Ice Cream Sandwich AKA Android 4.0, presents with a rate of 12.3%.
The most used version is the first generation Jelly Bean – Android 4.1 – released in July 2012.
What then happens in the realm of Android? The fierce war that rode between manufacturers to see who sells more as a profitable market, the technology makes care more for units sold than with mobile phones updated.
The KitKat Android should help solve the problem, but no manufacturer engaged in the update – in some cases, such as Samsung which has hundreds of devices on the market, it would be difficult to create specific versions for all.
It is a question for readers discuss: Android ever be able to have the most users in the latest version of the operating system?
