Android Nougat 7.0 still does not reach 1%

The Android Nougat 7.0 was presented in March 2016, having been made available only in August for the Nexus. Google has recently made available the first statistics of 2017 for the adoption of Android and, once more, we conclude that the fragmentation in this system is critical and there is no apparent solution.

As we have already mentioned several times, the fragmentation in the Android continues to be a problem without a solution. However, this is not a problem unique to the mobile platform of Google… on iOS there is also!

according To the first official data from the Google to 2017, the "new" Android 7.0 is not yet installed on 1% of Android devices. Noted that have already passed about 10 months after the release of the first public version of the Nougat.

As we can see by the table and chart below, the Android 6.0 is still the most used version with a market share of 29.6% (however, the values show that this version is not even present in one in every three terminals). The good news of the results now presented is the output of "Froyo" (Android 2.2) which has a market share of below 0,1%.

The fragmentation in the Android continues with high indexes and such a problem can be an obstacle in the purchase of terminals with mobile platform of Google. In the case of iOS, the fragmentation is more controlled and the results are influenced by the non-update of the system by the users. It is true that there are custom ROMs based on Android 7.0, for some equipment, but…

Think that fragmentation can be a barrier in the acquisition of an Android terminal?
