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 ...

Memory leaks are regrettably nothing new for even vanilla Android builds, with Google’s software engineers struggling to quash a widespread system bug of this nature in Lollipop pretty much since 5.0 debuted.The issue, or rather multiple similar issues uniting and disguising as one, carried over into version 5.1, then were ultimately kinda sorta fixed, but returned with a bang in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Once again, online reports flagging ...

Like Samsung, Sony is yet to update a single Lollipop-powered device to Marshmallow outside of “Concept” beta programs, although we were ready to wager at one point a number of 6.0 rollouts would begin by the end of January for Xperia flagships.Meanwhile, the Japanese hardware manufacturer reconsidered ...

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 ...
