Android distribution ends 2016 mostly with Lollipop
The Android platform distribution chart is about to get cleaned up soon, thanks to an upcoming revision in Google Play Services access. But until that happens, we’re still staring at Android 2.2 Froyo listing, stuck at a stupidly stubborn 0.1 percent.
This month’s chart, made up from Google Play Store access data for the week ending December 5, has 7.0 Nougat making a very slight gain from its initial reading last month while further moves favored the now-second place 6.0 Marshmallow. 5.0 Lollipop retains the top spot.
| Version | Codename | API | Distribution | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 | Froyo | 8 | 0.1% | N/A |
| 2.3.3-2.3.7 | Gingerbread | 10 | 1.2% | -0.1% |
| 4.0.3-4.0.4 | Ice Cream Sandwich | 15 | 1.2% | -0.1% |
| 4.1.x-4.3 | Jelly Bean | 16-18 | 12.8% | -0.9% |
| 4.4 | KitKat | 19 | 24.0% | -1.2% |
| 5.0-5.1 | Lollipop | 21-22 | 34.0% | -0.1% |
| 6.0 | Marshmallow | 23 | 26.3% | +2.3% |
| 7.0 | Nougat | 24 | 0.4% | +0.1% |
Well into Android 7.0’s third month of availability and its second month registering measurable share, we find that the initial burst of native devices like the Pixel and the V20 as well as a mix of Nexus inclusions has worn off a bit. We’ll probably find more momentum for the platform as Samsung releases the Android Nougat update to Galaxy S7 devices.
At Marshmallow’s third month of availability, we find that Android 6.0 notched 0.7 percent of the pie.

AdDuplex: Alcatel Idol 4s with Windows 10 more popular than HP Elite x3
If you see people using a Windows phone these days, it’s likely that phone will be a Lumia 640 or Lumia 635.
So the data says from AdDuplex which has tracked movement on the Windows mobile scene. It continues to be mostly dominated by budget entries including the Nokia Lumia 635 and the Microsoft Lumia 640.
The data is taken from device entries into about 5,000 Windows phone apps running AdDuplex’s SDK on November 21.
Here are the top ten devices in circulation:
| No. | Device | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Microsoft Lumia 640 | 26.2% |
| 2 | Nokia Lumia 635 | 22.0% |
| 3 | Microsoft Lumia 640 XL | 3.9% |
| 4 | Microsoft Lumia 950 | 3.8% |
| 5 | Nokia Lumia 521 | 3.5% |
| 6 | HTC One M8 for Windows | 3.4% |
| 7 | Nokia Lumia 920 | 2.8% |
| 8 | Nokia Lumia 735 | 2.8% |
| 9 | Microsoft Lumia 650 | 2.7% |
| 10 | Nokia Lumia 630 | 2.6% |
| N/A | Other | 26.4% |
Once we whittle the population down to devices running Windows 10 Mobile software, we do see a little more high-end representation.
| No. | Device | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Microsoft Lumia 640 | 20.2% |
| 2 | Microsoft Lumia 950 | 19.3% |
| 3 | Microsoft Lumia 650 | 18.5% |
| 4 | Microsoft Lumia 950 XL | 6.1% |
| 5 | Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL | 5.6% |
| 6 | Nokia Lumia 1520 | 4.7% |
| 7 | Nokia Lumia 735 | 4.0% |
| 8 | Microsoft Lumia 640XL | 3.5% |
| 9 | HTC One M8 for Windows | 3.4% |
| 10 | Nokia Lumia 635 | 3.3% |
| * | Other | 11.3% |
One oddity to note is that while the months-old HP Elite x3 is stuck at #19 on the above list, the days-old Alcatel Idol 4s for Windows 10 has struck #16.
Windows Phone 8.1 remains the most popular version in use at a straight 80 percent with Windows 10 Mobile garnering 15 percent. In terms of manufacturer distribution of Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft takes the top spot, having made nine out of ten phones out in the market right now. Alcatel is second with 6.2 percent while HTC (the last effort it put out was that One M8) holds onto a surprisingly large 3.4 percent. BLU and other OEMs are tied at 0.5 percent.
Microsoft is aggressively sending updates out to its Windows 10 Mobile users and those packages have been installed. Build #1607 has reached 77.7 percent saturation in the US and 83.8 percent worldwide. #1511 has 9.9 percent of US users and 8.2 percent of users globally. A healthy proportion seems interested in the Insider builds, taking up 12.4 percent of the US space and 8.1 percent internationally.

Android distribution: Marshmallow yet to break 20 percent share
It’s the second week of the month, which means that Google is either a little late publishing its Android platform version distribution numbers or we all haven’t been paying attention.But September’s pie, taken from seven days of tracking Google Play Store access ending September 5, shows no sign of Nougat. Who’d think that a two-week-old ...

Marshmallow up another 2 percent in August Android distribution, still lagging behind Jelly Bean
It’s certainly not surprising to still see the latest and, many say, greatest Android flavor savagely beaten by its predecessor in official Google share numbers for the week ending on August 1. Painful, sure, but not at all unexpected, despite 6.0 Marshmallow turning one soon, and 5.0 and 5.1 Lollipop (especially 5.0) sounding as reviled as the Great Plague for the vast majority of mobile users nowadays.We can even understand 4.4 KitKat towering above build M, although the gap between the two is for ...
