Lollipop already runs nearly a quarter of Android devices – Pplware

The problem of fragmentation in Android is a constant and almost all users have this problem. The updates are slow to arrive or often not even arrive.

But the truth is that this problem has been slowly being handled by Google and manufacturers, and Android figures already show that. Already close to a quarter of Android devices already run the lollipop version.

The new figures for the use of different Android versions on smartphones that use Google’s operating system show a scenario that is consistent with the previous months showed.

Even with the arrival of the latest version, Android Marshmallow, there is still a large number of users who are still with older versions of Android and many of them outdated and serious security problems.

On the other hand one has accompanied these data use is that these older versions are decreasing, but still at a very slow pace.

The September data show a growth of Android Lollipop, compared to August and walk more compared to July, something to be expected, since there are still many brands to launch this update to their equipment.

The new Google values ​​for Android is already possible to see that the Lollipop is about to break the barrier of 25 %, even too low for a version that already have a year.

At the top of the list remains the version 4.4 (KitKat), with a value close to 40%, but that, and such as the other versions, has been losing ground to the Lollipop.

It is important to see that Android 6.0, which arrived this week to Nexus devices, does not have an expression that justifies its presence on this list.

Since only been in testing and that only came up once and for all on the last day of this data collection, the more likely it is that only appear in next month’s table.

These figures reflect the reality of Android and dispersion of versions that exist in the Google universe. The attempt to increase the update cycle has not worked, largely the fault of manufacturers.

The Google with its Nexus and the Android One have shown that it is possible to keep the systems up, but this is unfortunately a reality that is limited to these devices
