Issues will have to be busy on the Googleplex at this time. That is the handiest explanation why I will suppose that Google could not get any person to offload the most recent platform distribution information on-line for the closing six weeks. The closing time we had recent numbers was once the start of February, however Google has simply issued an out-of-cycle dashboard replace with new numbers. There aren’t any surprises right here—Oreo continues to be rising (slowly) and previous variations of Android are shrinking (slowly).
Here is a breakdown of this month’s numbers, which can be in comparison to February 2018 as that was once the closing information level we had.
Android model stats, April 2018
Android model | Earlier information (%) | Present information (%) | Trade (pp) |
---|---|---|---|
2.three | Zero.three | Zero.three | Zero |
four.Zero | Zero.four | Zero.four | Zero |
four.1 | 1.7 | 1.7 | Zero |
four.2 | 2.6 | 2.2 | -Zero.four |
four.three | Zero.7 | Zero.6 | -Zero.1 |
four.four | 12 | 10.five | -1.five |
five.Zero | five.four | four.nine | -Zero.five |
five.1 | 19.2 | 18 | -1.2 |
6.Zero | 28.1 | 26 | -2.1 |
7.Zero | 22.three | 23 | +Zero.7 |
7.1 | 6.2 | 7.eight | +1.6 |
eight.Zero | Zero.eight | four.1 | +three.three |
eight.1 | Zero.three | Zero.five | +Zero.2 |
We are lacking information from March, and the information is 2 weeks overdue in April. That makes it difficult to judge the trade monthly. On the other hand, we will take a look at the place Oreo is at this time in comparison to Nougat closing April. As of early April 2017, Nougat was once at a blended four.nine% of energetic Android gadgets. Each variations of Oreo at this time upload as much as four.6%. So, it is in the similar ballpark, however falling somewhat at the back of Nougat.
There may be been 0 trade within the percentage of Android 2.three, four.Zero, or four.1 in the previous few months. Some more moderen builds are down a little bit, however Nougat continues to be gaining utilization at a slower fee than Oreo. The developments are solid at this time, however confidently, Android P choices up steam quicker due to Oreo’s Treble enhance when it drops later this 12 months.
