Google forgot to revise the Android distribution chart last month, now reporting some massive growth for Oreo compared to February numbers.
The post Oreo more than quadruples its share in Google’s latest Android distribution report appeared first on Pocketnow.
The December 2017 Android distribution numbers are in, and version 8.0 Oreo still can't rival the prevalence of Marshmallow, Lollipop, KitKat or Jelly Bean.

There's little to be happy about in Google's latest Android distribution report. Nougat has crossed the 10-percent milestone, but it still trails KitKat.

2.8 percent is still a small piece of the pie for 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat, but at least it's much bigger than 1.2 percent in previous Android distribution data.

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 ...

It may have taken a whopping six months, during which time the vast majority of Android users weren’t even allowed to dream of Marshmallow goodies, but at long last, it seems the newest OS iteration is making real headway.Stuck below the one-percent mark as recently as January, version 6.0 has managed to double its share in the past 30 days, according to official data collected ...

How many or rather how few Marshmallow-powered devices are there in use today, three whole months after the fresh OS iteration’s release? An exact number is impossible to calculate, but Android 6.0’s market share among only its forerunners remains worryingly low.Based on Google Play data harvested in the week leading up to January 4, a measly 0.7 percent of active Android phones and tablets run the newest flavor of the world’s most popular mobile platform. The figure is up

It’s that time of the month again. The time Android devotees are reminded of the ecosystem’s greatest weakness, pining for iOS 9’s “sluggish” rise to 70 percent adoption rate in less than three months.Granted, Marshmallow debuted roughly three weeks after Apple’s newest mobile platform iteration, but in the week leading to December 7, just one in 200 Google Play visits came from devices running Android 6.0.0.5 percent market share is certainly a ...

Google recently released a Developer Preview of its latest version of Android: Android L. Though it’s not final code by any stretch of the imagination, we wanted to see how it compares to Android 4.4.4 KitKat – the latest official release of the operating system.We headed over to Google’s “L Developer Preview” page, downloaded, and installed Android L build LPV79 to our Nexus 5 (there is also a build for the 2013 Nexus 7, though only ...

Samsung hasn’t always been the best with Android updates on its devices, especially considering the sheer number of phones and tablets it manufactures on a yearly basis. The wait’s always been the most minimal on flagship devices, however, and it seems that the Galaxy S5 (and last year’s Galaxy S4) ...

It’s been a week since Google started releasing Android 4.4.3. Many have reported getting the update delivered to their Nexus over-the-air, and others have impatiently taken it upon themselves to download and manually flash the entire factory image – myself included. However, many are still waiting for the update to arrive, and that’s where things start to get a little “weird”.I’ve got a lot of Nexus devices in my household: two Galaxy Nexi running CyanogenMod, one 2012 Nexus 7 that’s ...

For those of you that still sport a Sony Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR or Tablet Z, we’re sure you’ve been quite pleased with your ability to update these legacy devices to Android 4.4 KitKat.

Users have flooded Sony Support forums claiming that there are serious battery draining issues, and apparently there is a fix coming.Sony has confirmed that it has detected the battery drain issues of the mentioned devices, and this problem has to do with Google Play Services. ...
